Brehon Hotel and Spa raises €1,200 for Brú Columbanus

Published

The Brehon Hotel and Spa recently hosted a successful fundraising event in aid of Brú Columbanus, a charity that provides accommodation and support to families of patients in Cork hospitals and hospices.

The ‘Brehon for Brú’ event featured a cooking demonstration by Michelin-starred Chef Rob Krawczyk and The Brehon's Executive Chef Chad Byrne, along with wine tasting hosted by K.D. Evans of The Wine Buff Killarney. The event was beautifully orchestrated with Karen Coakley of Kenmare Foodies as the MC.
The event raised over €1,200 through a raffle and a portion of wine sales. A team from The Brehon subsequently visited Brú Columbanus to present the funds raised. During the visit, they toured the facility and learned more about the vital services provided by the charity.
Eamon O'Donoghue of The Brehon said: "We are so grateful to everyone who supported this event, from the incredible chefs and talented organisers like Karen Coakley and K.D, to the guests who attended and contributed so generously. Seeing the work of Ann-Maria, Steve, and the entire team at Brú Columbanus firsthand was inspiring, and we are proud to have played a part in supporting their mission." The Brehon extends heartfelt thanks to all who participated and made Brehon for Brú a resounding success.

The strategy, part of the THRIVE Town Centre First Heritage Revival Scheme, sets out a plan for the future development of Killarney with a focus on its historic and cultural setting, improving connections, and enhancing streets and public spaces.

It builds on the town’s rich heritage while setting out a vision for a more vibrant, inclusive, and resilient town centre. We’re encouraging everyone in the community to share their views during this final phase of consultation.”
The consultation is open until 4pm on October 19. The draft plan can be viewed at Kerry County Council, County Buildings, Rathass, Tralee, and at Kerry County Council, Killarney Municipal Area Office, Town Hall, Killarney, Co. Kerry, or online at
