Tralee Sports Complex has been indefinitely closed to the public following a roof collapse on Monday morning.

Emergency services were called to the facility at approximately 7am after the roof of the sports hall collapsed. The building was unoccupied at the time of the incident.
The building and grounds have been secured, and a comprehensive assessment is underway to determine the extent of the damage and the next steps for the facility.
Opened in 1977, the Tralee Sports Complex is a popular community hub, attracting over 300,000 visits annually. It offers a range of facilities, including a 25-meter swimming pool, a learner's pool, a sports hall, a gym, squash courts, handball courts, and astroturf pitches.
The complex is a cooperative venture owned by Kerry County Council and the Kerry Education and Training Board and managed by Tralee Regional Sports & Leisure Centre CLG on a not-for-profit basis.
Jim Finucane, Chair of Tralee Regional Sports & Leisure Centre CLG said: "The safety of our patrons and staff is our top priority. We are working closely with the relevant authorities to assess the situation and determine the next steps. We understand that this closure will cause significant disruption to the community, and we will do everything possible to minimize the impact."
The Tralee Sports Complex plays a vital role in the community, providing recreational and sporting opportunities for people of all ages. The closure will undoubtedly have a significant impact on local sports clubs, schools, and individuals who use the facility regularly.
The cause of the roof collapse is currently under investigation.
