Green light for new sports centre in Killarney

The green light has been given for the country’s first fully adapted sports centre which will cater for people with, and without, physical and intellectual disabilities at the same time.

The €10m centre will be built on a 4.7 acre site at Dirreen, Killarney, where other sports facilities are already located, off the busy N22 Cork to Tralee road.

An Bord Pleanála has approved a planning application from the National Sports and Adventure Centre for the development.
