The Tralee Sports Complex has been closed indefinitely after the roof of the Sports Hall collapsed.
The weight of the snow brought the roof down early on Monday morning, leaving two-time national Super League champion Tralee Warriors without a home venue.
In a brief statement on Facebook, Tralee Regional Sports and Leisure Centre said that this morning, around 7am, emergency services were called.
"The building, which was closed at the time, was secured by the emergency services and the building and grounds have been closed to the public. It is intended to carry out an assessment of the building to determine the next steps," it said.
The Complex also housed two swimming pools with tiered seating capacity for 160 people, a state-of-the-art gym, racquetball and handball courts, and the sports hall, which included a retractable seating system to accommodate 320 people. The facility also features three external Astroturf pitches.
Built in 1976, the Complex is one year shy of its 50th anniversary and boasts 350,000 visits per year.
The loss of the recently upgraded venue leaves a major question mark over the future plans of basketball club Tralee Warriors.
The club sit third in the Men’s Super League table, with 10 wins from 15 games. They were due to host games against EJ Sligo All-Stars and Irish Guide Dogs Ballincollig @MTU before the season concludes.
Warriors also field teams in the men’s and women’s national development leagues.
The club will likely have to look towards venues in Castleisland and Killarney to host their remaining games.
The Complex further posted on Instagram informing people of the closure, and apologising for any inconvenience.
Commenting on the Facebook post, local Sinn Féin councillor Paul Daly said: "luckily it happened when nobody was there. It's important that this fantastic facility can be open again to the public as soon as it is safe to do so."
It is not known when the complex will reopen.
