Kevin O’Connor is the chair of the committee of former workers at Denny’s Bacon Factory. The factory lay on the Island of Geese site before the owner Kerry Group closed it in 2008. Kerry Group later donated the site to the people of Tralee.
This week, Kerry County Councillors voted that a part of the site should be sold to the Courts Service so it can build a new courthouse for Tralee. The Courts Service says it’s not possible to upgrade the existing courthouse on Ashe Street. Kevin and his group vehemently disagree with this.
