The walls of Fitzgerald Stadium will be partially knocked to accommodate a new cycle-lane planned for Lewis Road.
However, it is expected the crescent at the front will be maintained given its history. The walls are in place since the stadium was first built in the 1936. However, given the age of the walls, there is a need for works.
Discussions are taking place with the Kerry County Board and with the Fitzgerald Stadium Management Committee regarding the planned cycle-way and the accommodation of the cycle-way in front of the walls. The Kerryman understands that part of the walls will be demolished entirely and then set back to accommodate the cycle-way, if it goes ahead.
