Fenit Viewing Platform

We are looking to fund our Fenit Marine Heritage Project.

Our community has a long-standing maritime history which we want to encapsulate in a fully accessible viewing platform commanding views of Tralee Bay. This will highlight the maritime landscape and ecology of the bay including the maritime history, flora and fauna and the geographical importance of the area. it will be wheelchair accessible, with information provided in Braille.

As our fishing and maritime population is changing fast in Fenit. We hope to document it for future generations.

We believe that this project has the potential to capture and bring to life the full maritime history of Fenit and captivate residents and visitors alike.

To achieve these goals, we are seeking a total funding amount of €50,000. This funding will be used to cover most of the ground works, construction works, and design and production of a 2.6 metre bronze map, to be located on the waste land at the western side of Fenit pier below the statue of St. Brendan the Navigator.

We have a solid plan for the successful implementation of this project which already has a concept design (image above), including pending planning permission from Kerry County Council, architect’s plans, creative design and supporting infrastructure.

Our timeline is as follows:

Now we need your help to complete this project. We believe that this project has the potential to make a significant impact, and your support would be greatly appreciated.
