Bacon faction site being assessed for Tralee courthouse

The OPW is assessing the site of a former bacon factory in the centre of Tralee as the location for a new courthouse, the Courts Service has confirmed.

The 2.3-acre factory site known as the Island of Geese was gifted to the people of Tralee by the Kerry Group in 2016.

It is adjacent to the town’s Garda station. The old buildings are being demolished and the site cleared.
