Kerry Community Test Centre is moving to a new location.

The PCR test centre, located at Ballymullen Barracks Tralee since July 2020, is to be moved to the former Borg Warner premises, Monavalley Industrial Estate in Tralee from next Monday.

Work is underway to adapt part of the building at the former Borg Warner site to act as a testing centre. In the meantime, a temporary marquee-type structure will be used.

Testing remains by appointment only and the public can continue to book appointments at www2.hse.ie/conditions/covid19/testing/get-tested/.

“The Defence Forces have been a huge support to the health services in many elements of our response to COVID-19," Head of Health and Well-being with Cork Kerry Community Healthcare, Gabrielle O’Keeffe, said.

"We thank them sincerely for that support. As the Ballymullen Barrack site is now needed for the State’s response to the Ukrainian refugee crisis; we will relocate the test centre to Monavalley Industrial Estate. We thank the people of Kerry for their ongoing support, and for their patience and co-operation during this transition.”

O’Leary and Lynch among local stars as Kerry win Camogie league final

Published

The “trilogy” between Kerry and Meath ended in triumph for the Kingdom on Saturday, as the Kerry Intermediate Camogie team secured the Division 2 league title in Banagher.


In a match dominated by a fierce breeze and relentless defending, Kerry edged out their rivals by 1-07 to 0-08. While the scoreboard remained low, the impact of the Killarney-area players was a decisive factor in securing Division 1B status for next season.
Kate Lynch of Glenflesk, a mainstay of the attack this season, started in the forward line and contributed to an offensive effort that gradually wore down the Meath backline. However, it was the second-half introduction of Rathmore dual star Danielle O’Leary that helped shift the momentum.
Entering the game in the 43rd minute, O’Leary sharpened the Kerry attack during the intense midfield battles of the final quarter. Her impact was most evident when she combined with fellow substitute Shannon Collins to set up Patrice Diggin’s only score from play, providing the platform for the game’s decisive moment.
In the 55th minute, Collins fired a low shot into the net to nudge Kerry ahead. Despite a late Meath rally, Patrice Diggin held her nerve to slot over two late dead-ball scores to seal the win.
While Kathryn Ryan, Áine Devlin, and Tiarna Dineen were part of the matchday panel and have played key roles throughout this unbeaten campaign, they were not called upon from the bench on this occasion.
Scorers for Kerry: P Diggin 0-07 (4fs, 2 45s); S Collins 1-00
Kerry: A Fitzgerald, T McCarthy, S Murphy, M Costello, R Quinn, N Leen, E O’Donoghue, P Diggin, C Spillane, A O’Sullivan, J Horgan, K Lynch, R O’Connor, L Collins, E Conway. Subs: D O’Leary for Conway, S Collins for Lynch (43); A Behan for Quinn (43)
