Former factory site to become ‘mini town’ in Tralee

A prime, 2.3-acre former bacon factory in Tralee town centre will be an ideal ‘mini town’ — with strong amenity, market and tourism elements, along with some residential and office space — the public has decided.

Kerry County Council has published a summary of the findings of 800 submissions on the future use of the former Denny bacon factory.

Over six weeks, the council held a public consultation at the ‘Island of Geese’ site, which was gifted to the people of Tralee by Kerry Group two years ago.
