THE Kerry senior football team captain turned up as his old school on Monday to lend his support to a gofundme campaign for new facilities.
The new Listellick National School, located in a site opposite the present school, is expected to be completed in November, but extra funding is needed to complete the fitout of the new building and to provide the best possible facilities for the Listellick pupils and the community.
To that end, a fundraising committee are undertaking a major fundraising drive through a gofundme page which was launched on Monday by Joe O’Connor, a past pupil of Listellick and the current captain of the Kerry football team.

This fundraising drive has a target of €36,000 to cover the cost of extending the playground areas of the new school and to purchase a stage for the new hall.
These two essential items will be of enormous benefit both to the students and to the Listellick Community and surrounding area.
The school is appealing to all past pupils, past parents and the wider community to get behind this fundraising drive.
All donations can be made via the website www.listellickprimary.com or via the following GoFundMe link https://gofund.me/d947b41c
