Efforts to secure leisure centre

EFFORTS are underway to ensure the troubled Killarney Sports and Leisure Centre remains in operation.

In a statement yesterday, Killarney Town Council indicated its “full intention” to keep the €16 million centre open, saying it was examining all options in order to achieve that.

Earlier this week, Aura Sport and Leisure Management, which has been running the centre, made a shock decision to withdraw from the facility which includes a 25-metre swimming pool, gym and sports hall.
