New operator for €16m Killarney leisure centre

A NEW company has been engaged to run a public sports complex in Killarney that was at risk of closing after a management company pulled out a few months ago.

Killarney Town Council has confirmed the appointment of SP Sports Management Ltd to operate the Killarney Sports and Leisure Centre, from February 1.

Town clerk Michael O’Leary said the appointment, for a six-year period, would secure the €16 million centre’s future on a long-term basis.
