Intended results We are seeking funding to relaunch Tralee - one of the main elements relates to a much-needed relaunch marketing campaign for Tralee. Project to commence in September 2020. We have been supportive, working diligently with the various teams established by Kerry County Council over the past number of months as well as working on our own core remit, within the resources we have left. We believe we have played a role in supporting far more than just our member businesses in Tralee by reaching out to assist businesses all over the county, as well as supporting the other chambers in Kerry and assisting Business Response teams in Kerry County Council.
