Questions raised over council’s theatre proposal

KILLARNEY Town Council manager Tom Curran has expressed “grave reservations” about the council supporting a proposal for a theatre cum arts centre for the town.

The council’s arts committee is preparing an application for 70% funding to the Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism, but has not yet costed the proposal even though the application must be submitted before November 17.

Mr Curran said the council was being asked to support something without having any indication of its financial obligations to the project.
