Kerry TD Michael Cahill says he is pushing to ensure the Killarney Innovation Centre secures the funding it needs for its planned expansion.

Deputy Cahill raised the issue in a recent Parliamentary Question to Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Peter Burke. The centre has applied to the Smart Regions Enterprise Innovation Scheme under Enterprise Ireland to support future projects.
Minister Burke told Deputy Cahill that the centre’s application will receive “appropriate consideration” and confirmed that Enterprise Ireland will assist the organisation in shaping proposals that match the aims of the scheme.
Deputy Cahill said the support would give the Killarney Innovation Centre “a first run to the ball” in identifying suitable projects that can attract national funding. He added that the centre has received strong Government backing for more than 30 years.
The Minister also noted that three other Kerry projects are progressing under the same national scheme, including a €1 million allocation for the AI Navigator Programme at the RDI Hub in Killorglin, which is designed to help small businesses adapt to artificial intelligence.
