Tralee pushing for GAA museum
By Sean Moriarty
The much-mooted GAA and cultural museum in Killarney will face opposition from Tralee.
Before he retired from politics in April, Michael Gleeson was campaigning to build a GAA and cultural museum on the grounds of Fitzgerald Stadium.
His campaign goes back several years before the recession set in, with a €0.5 million bridging loan secured from Croke Park.
The idea was parked for several years until January of this year when Gleeson made another political attempt to secure the museum for Killarney.
At Monday’s Tralee Municipal District meeting Cllr Mikey Sheehy called for the museum to be built in the county's capital.
“The GAA are the promoters of this project and have the lead in terms of the identification of a suitable location and facility for this proposal, its delivery and ongoing management and operation,” said the Council in reply. “Kerry County Council will support the GAA in their endeavours when they are in a position to proceed.”
