Campaign aims to keep horseracing

A CAMPAIGN has been launched in Tralee to ensure horseracing continues in the town, following the recent decision to sell off the local Ballybeggan Park Racecourse for €47.5 million.

A GAA stadium has been earmarked for a 30-acre site on the Ballybeggan property, which will also have other leisure facilities.

However, all of the plans depend on Kerry County Council agreeing to rezone the racecourse for development.
