Fitzgerald Stadium development

MOVES are underway to increase the capacity of Killarney’s Fitzgerald Stadium from 41,000 to 55,000.

Sports Minister John O’Donoghue, GAA president Sean Kelly and Kerry County Board chairman Sean Walsh will unveil details on Thursday of a €3m initiative to fund the development.

Over the past five years, a special finance and management committee has chipped away at a €1m debt with fundraising and a €400,000 Government grant in 2004.
