Central campus part of ITT plans to boost college

Ambitious plans by the Institute of Technology Tralee to increase student numbers envisages the shedding of its south campus in the Kerry town.

College president Oliver Murphy said a split-campus set-up was costly and difficult. The existing south campus, at Clash closer to the town centre, is 2.4km from the main north campus at Dromtacker on the Listowel Road.

The Dromtacker site overlooking Tralee and the Slieve Mish Mountains currently hosts the nursing, business and leisure along with the catering sides of the academic programme.
