The wonderful team at The Brehon have not one, but two reasons to celebrate this week.

Their hotel was named as one of a select few in Ireland to receive the Best Employer Certification from Workbly, which identifies organisations who score in a high percentile in a number of key areas including; communications, training, culture and employee engagement.

“We are overjoyed to have been presented with the Workbly Best Employer Award. This certification places The Brehon firmly in the top percentage of hotels in Ireland, and shows that our hotel is not only a rewarding place to work, but also, has so much to offer to current and future employees,” Sinead Murphy, General Manager, said.

Following on from an employee survey, the results were independently assessed by a team of experts in the employee engagement space.

“The Brehon’s core values focus on delivering exceptional service standards to our guests, and without our incredible employees, this wouldn’t be possible. The culture of our organisation is centric to our staff, and we’re delighted to see such rewarding results from our recent employee survey,” Caroline Daly, People and Culture Manager, added.

Following on from their recent accolade, The Brehon hosted their Annual Employee Awards, in recognition of the contribution their staff have made over the past 12 months.

The main award winners were; Aoife Lynch – Employee of The Year, Caitriona Ashe – Manager of The Year, Tania Almeida – Best New Starter and a Special Recognition Award was presented to Liz O’Sullivan who recently celebrated her 30 years tenure with the O’Donoghue Family.

The Brehon are now recruiting for a number of positions across multiple departments, to find out more about working as part of The Brehon Team, visit www.thebrehon.com/en/careers.

Work on new, fully accessible public toilet facilities at Killarney Library is set to begin on Monday, July 20, marking the realisation of a project first tabled over two years ago.

The upgrade was initially put forward by Councillor Marie Moloney in May 2024, when she raised a motion at a Kerry County Council meeting highlighting the unacceptable lack of disabled toilets in a public building. At the time, Cllr Moloney noted that while access ramps were in place, several library users with disabilities were disappointed by the lack of facilities. “I will be keeping the pressure on to have these facilities provided as soon as possible,” she stated at the time.
Delivered by the Council’s Facilities Section, the upcoming works are expected to be completed in the autumn. The development will provide a new entrance to the toilet area, a fully accessible toilet, and baby changing facilities.
Killarney Library will remain open throughout the construction period, with all regular services continuing as normal. To ensure safety, the front porch, the existing public toilets, and the events room will be temporarily closed. Visitors will access the library via a signposted side entrance, and alternative public toilets will be available nearby at the High Street Car Park.

Kerry Mountain Rescue Team (KMRT) has issued a warm weather warning for anyone climbing in the region after being called to assist a walker on Sunday.

The rescue team was tasked to the Devil’s Ladder area of Carrauntoohil (Corrán Tuathail) to help a climber experiencing severe exhaustion and dehydration. Volunteers successfully assisted the walker down to an awaiting vehicle.
With the current heatwave continuing, KMRT is reminding all hillwalkers to prepare adequately before setting out.
The team recommends carrying at least one extra litre of water, wearing sunscreen, and using a peaked or wide-brimmed hat. Walkers should set out early in the morning to ensure they are off the mountains before the peak heat builds in the middle of the day.
KMRT also advises walkers to consider changing their plans to less strenuous routes or rescheduling their climbs entirely until temperatures drop.
