PJ REIDY has been appointed as new Games Development Administrator (GDA) for South and Mid Kerry primary and post-primary schools and clubs. PJ brings many years of coaching experience to the role.

He has trained numerous successful GAA teams, most recently the Keel senior club team which he steered to Kerry and Munster junior championship titles in 2013 and 2014, and the Institute of Technology Tralee Sigerson Cup team this year.

PJ has been a key factor in the success of Kerry’s underage development squads for a number of years now and was part of this year’s Kerry Junior management team but due to his work commitments had to vacate the position.

“I am looking forward to my role in implementing and developing support and promoting Gaelic football in all schools and clubs in the South and Mid Kerry area,” said PJ.

The Kerry Education and Training Board (Kerry ETB) has been awarded €2.3 million in funding to purchase the former Pretty Polly site on Upper Park Road, Killarney.

The funding, announced this morning by Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD, will allow Kerry ETB to develop the site as a new Tourism Sector Training College. The proposed facility will focus on training for the hospitality and tourism industries.
Kerry TD Michael Cahill described the announcement as “a major vote of confidence in Killarney and the wider Kerry tourism industry.”
“This is immense news for the town,” said Deputy Cahill. “It will mark Killarney out officially as the tourism capital of Ireland by providing a Hospitality Sector Training College right in the heart of the county.”
Deputy Cahill said he had been advocating for such a development since entering the Dáil, adding that the investment “will be a gamechanger for the hospitality sector in Killarney and Kerry.”
He also recalled the former CERT training centre that operated at the Torc Great Southern Hotel in the 1970s, noting that this new project would revive that legacy for a new generation of tourism professionals.
The Pretty Polly site, vacant for many years, will now be transformed into a key educational and economic hub for the region once the project proceeds.
