A Kerry sports club with over 400 members has called on local representatives to help prevent the closure of its premises at the end of the summer.
Tralee Gymnastics Club has written to ministers, TDs and councillors saying the closure would be a step backwards in tackling obesity levels in children.
The club, which employs 16 people, has been refused planning permission from Kerry County Council to change the use of its current accommodation in Clash Industrial Estate.
