We are committed to improving access for visitors to Killarney Convention Centre. Not only do we incorporate all legislative requirements for accessibility, we also have taken additional steps to convert a number of bedrooms on the ground floor of the on-site Gleneagle Hotel to ensure that they are fully wheelchair accessible.

We are now listed on the Irish Wheelchair Association (IWA) website and have welcomed groups from both Caring for Carers Ireland and the IWA. Killarney Convention Centre has also hosted the Caring for Carers Ireland conference on a number of occasions.
