Muckross Park Hotel renews sponsorship of Muckross Rowing Club

Published

on

Last week, representatives of Muckross Rowing Club and the Muckross Park Hotel gathered at the hotel to mark a successful year of partnership in 2024 and the renewal of the hotel’s sponsorship of the local rowing club in Muckross for 2025.

On behalf of the committee and members of Muckross RC, Sean Daly expressed his thanks to Garrett Power, General Manager of Muckross Park Hotel & Spa, for the hotel’s generosity and ongoing support as the club’s main sponsor.
The junior membership of the rowing club has grown significantly in recent years and the generous sponsorship of the Muckross Park has enabled continued investment in the club’s equipment and facilities. This directly supports over 80 young boys and girls from 12-18 to partake in the sport of rowing year round. Muckross RC is delighted to have the backing of the Muckross Park Hotel, part of the iNUA Hotel Collection, and we look forward to continued partnership in the years ahead.
The Muckross Park will play host to the club once again on Friday, December 27, for the club’s Table Quiz festive fundraiser in Colgan’s Bar. This is a great opportunity for club members, past and present, supporters, family and friends to meet and catch up over the holiday period. The fun Christmas quiz will kick off at 7pm with adult tables of 4 for €40 and under 18s for €20.
Muckross Park Hotel and Colgan’s Bar also looks forward to welcoming customers for their festive meets ups, dining and celebrations over the Christmas and New Year period. In the lead up to Christmas, Colgan’s Bar will open every Friday and Saturday from 3pm to close until Saturday 21December. Following the MRC quiz night on Friday 27, Colgan’s will remain open from Saturday 28 December until Thursday 2 January before the hotel’s seasonal closure on Friday 3 January.
From watching the sport to a catch-up with family or friends, Colgan’s Bar has a hearty menu ready and waiting to make your holiday moments unforgettable.

The Kerry Education and Training Board (Kerry ETB) has been awarded €2.3 million in funding to purchase the former Pretty Polly site on Upper Park Road, Killarney.

The funding, announced this morning by Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD, will allow Kerry ETB to develop the site as a new Tourism Sector Training College. The proposed facility will focus on training for the hospitality and tourism industries.
Kerry TD Michael Cahill described the announcement as “a major vote of confidence in Killarney and the wider Kerry tourism industry.”
“This is immense news for the town,” said Deputy Cahill. “It will mark Killarney out officially as the tourism capital of Ireland by providing a Hospitality Sector Training College right in the heart of the county.”
Deputy Cahill said he had been advocating for such a development since entering the Dáil, adding that the investment “will be a gamechanger for the hospitality sector in Killarney and Kerry.”
He also recalled the former CERT training centre that operated at the Torc Great Southern Hotel in the 1970s, noting that this new project would revive that legacy for a new generation of tourism professionals.
The Pretty Polly site, vacant for many years, will now be transformed into a key educational and economic hub for the region once the project proceeds.
