  • Who we are

    Kilfeacle Community Association is a community-based organisation which operates a number of community facilities and activities in Kilfeacle, Co. Tipperary. The association was founded in 1974 and in its early days the locals played cards and the youngsters held their band practice there as well as dance classes and a Foroige club. Two tennis courts were built in the late 70’s and it became a vibrate gathering place for the community. The community centre itself had previously been Downey’s shop. This building was actually in a little island in the road where the current T junction is today.

    The building fell into disrepair and with the support of Lotto money the current community and tennis centre was built in 2001.
