HRI cash boost for Listowel racecourse project

Listowel racecourse has won HRI approval for a €600,000 cash boost towards a major redevelopment of facilities at the North Kerry track.

Fairyhouse has also been approved for a €280,000 investment under the HRI’s capital development grants. Work on the facilities at both courses will generate up to 50 construction jobs.

The main focus of Listowel’s project is a new dining and hospitality facility adjacent to the parade ring. With a projected spend of over €1.2m, the new dining facility will also incorporate an upstairs bar and food area overlooking the parade ring at Listowel.
