Killarney in Kerry has a Top Class Entertainment Venue

By Brendan J. Law


One of Ireland's most advanced Conference and Entertainment Venues is located in Killarney, County Kerry. The INEC (Irish National Entertainment Centre) is equipped with the most modern and technically advanced sound, lighting and stage management systems available and is capable of hosting the most demanding of events.

Ideally located on Muckross Road Killarney, there are over 500 hotel rooms on site with many other good quality 4 star and 5 star hotels located within a 1 mile radius. There are also numerous bed and breakfasts nearby so visitors to events can be assured that suitable accommodation will be available within a reasonable distance.

Situated in the idyllic Muckross Road in Killarney, the centre looks out onto one of the most beautiful vistas in Ireland with Ireland's highest mountain in full view and the Lakes of Killarney almost on the doorstep.

Patrons enjoying the events at the venue have to be fed and The Gleneagle Hotel and Brehon Hotel both have a number of very good restaurants and bars where visitors can enjoy a meal or a snack. The town of Killarney has some very fine restaurants and numerous pubs which are noted for good fun, traditional music and entertainment.

There is a huge auditorium in the INEC which is capable of accommodating up to 4000 people on three levels and it can be configured in different ways to suit large or small audiences. The facilities backstage are second to none and include stage level truck docking.

It is fully equipped to cater for Conferences of 2,500 delegates or more. All the necessary equipment such as telephone, fax, email and internet systems are installed as well as projectors and screens, whiteboards and copying and printing equipment. Press rooms are available and delegates have access to refreshments and food.

The Irish National Entertainment Centre opened in the year 2000 and has hosted many top class shows and featured numerous top class national and international artists. Riverdance has been staged there a few times and other shows include Annie, Blood Brothers, Fame The Musical and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Some famous artists who performed at the centre include Snow Patrol, Stereophonics, Jose Carreras, Meatloaf, Billy Connolly and UB40.

During the remainder of 2010 there are some good acts lined up. Fame The Musical is due to be staged and Jedward (of X-Factor fame) The Waterboys, The Pogues, Colm Wilkinson, Jack L, Brendan Grace (Comedy) and Dara O'Briain (Comedy) are scheduled to appear before the end of the year. Tickets for these events are available from the INEC Box Office.
