Our story
From a hospital prayer room to a masjid for Kerry.
Tralee’s Muslim community first gathered for prayer at what is now University Hospital Kerry, which provided Muslim employees with a place to worship in 1988.
Local Muslims rented premises for prayer in 2000. KICC was formally established in 2001, secured a house for regular prayers in 2003, and established a smaller mosque at Killerisk in 2007.
Planning permission for a full mosque and separate community centre was secured in 2015, and a site close to the existing premises was purchased in 2016. Construction began in February 2023; in 2025 the community-centre phase opened for use. The dedicated domed prayer hall remains the next chapter of that long-term vision.
