Former cattle mart and disused creamery become a new town centre for Tralee in County Kerry.
The £12 million redevelopment plan financed by an agricultural cooperative, Lee Strand Cooperative, is the largest ever investment project undertaken in Tralee.
The new town centre was officially opened by Tánaiste Dick Spring TD. The development consists of apartments, houses, shops, a hotel, a multi-story car park and a new studio for Radio Kerry.
