The project is being delivered by local not-for-profit company Derreen Sports CLG in partnership with Kerry Stars Special Olympics Club, St Paul’s Basketball Club and Killarney Judo Club. Once completed, the facility will provide long-term sporting and community benefits for the area.
Speaking during the visit, Tim Kelly of Killarney Judo Club said there is growing national interest in developing Killarney as a base for international judo training camps. “This opportunity will undoubtedly strengthen the club and support the development of future champions,” he said.
Construction to date has been funded through the Community Recognition Fund administered by Kerry County Council. Further works will be supported by Sports Capital and LSSIF funding through the Department of Sport. The timeline for completion will depend on the release of these funds.
