KCA Background

The KCA has been in existence for 8 years and was formed by a group of concerned adults, with the single purpose of building a multidisciplinary, community and leisure centre. In that time we have carried out a detailed feasibility study, acquired a 10-acre site opposite the Kinsale Community School from Cork County Council and in November 2005 we received full Planning permission to build our proposed facility. Although our fundraising efforts have yet to be launched publicly we have received substantial financial support from the local community which has allowed us to get to this stage. The local lions club has donated €25,000 towards our planning permission process, Eli Lilly pharmaceutical manufactures who are located in the community have generously donated €125,000 and a local wealthy individual has pledged €2 million to the construction. We will be starting our intense fund raising efforts as soon as the registration of our sporting body status is complete with the Irish Tax Authorities. Once our status is recognised it will allow any individuals/companies to get tax credit for any donations in excess of €250 in 2006.
