The former garda station and married quarters building in Moyvane will be turned into a space for the local community.
The building was owned by the Office of Public Works (OPW) and when it went on sale, a local community group sought to purchase it.
Fáilte Isteach Gach Duine Moyvane wanted to buy the building and turn it into a vibrant community space.

The OPW would only sell the building to Kerry County Council which acquired the building; it’ll now lease it to Fáilte Isteach Gach Duine Moyvane.
Under the terms agreed at a recent council meeting, the lease is for 99 years with an annual rent of €1 to be paid to the council, if demanded.
