History

From a public meeting held in 1988 regarding the lack of leisure facilities in the area a committee was formed to investigate the possibility of building a sports centre. Funding for the centre came from the general public, local authorities and Government sources.

Subsequently, on 29th April 1994, the former An Taoiseach Albert Reynolds officially opened the Sean Kelly Sports Centre. The sports centre is a non-profit community based organisation. As a non-profit we rely heavily on community based employment schemes in which we help people gain employment experience.
