PLANS of the new Kerry Sports Academy look pretty impressive, as the artist’s impression of the completed building reveals.
Today, Joan Burton visited IT Tralee with Deputy Arthur Spring, to take a look at the site of the new development which received €7 million of capital funding from the government.
The €15 million centre will be the largest sports capital project to be undertaken in Kerry in the coming years. It is a joint project between the GAA and the Institute of Technology Tralee.

It will be a centre of excellence in sport built on the grounds of ITT’s north campus and provide a facility which will be used by students and the Kerry county football and hurling teams.
It is expected that Kerry teams will take part in most of their gym work at the centre of excellence, while any field training will be done at the Kerry GAA facility in Currans, which is currently under construction.
