It is anticipated the contractor will return the site to Kerry Council by the end of 2017 with all but a few historical buildings removed.

It will not be long now before members of the public will start to see a lot more activity around the old factory site. All of which will hopefully create a lot more interest and excitement in the regeneration of Tralee Town Centre.

Meanwhile, as part of the Regional Operational Programme, Kerry County Council is also currently working with a team of specialist consultants – Reddy Architecture & Urbanism – for the creation of a masterplan for the Island of Geese Site and the Tralee Town Centre West area. It is anticipated that the masterplan will be also be completed by the end of 2017.

The demolition of the old Denny Bacon Factory site and regeneration of The Island of Geese, Tralee project is  part of a three year long Southern & Eastern Regional Operational Programme, co-funded by the Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government, The European Regional Development Fund and Kerry County Council in partnership with the Southern Regional Assembly.

    I hope Tralee town council also take into account the amount of anti social behavior drinking and drug dealing at the back of the Garveys carpark at weekend …. Gangs of youths drunk shouting and roaring till all hours of the morning with broken bottels keeping the residents in this area awake til all hours of the night.. Tralee has a serios anti social problems with drink and disorderly youths especially on weekends !!
