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.

It has taken 10 years but the Italian town of Casperia is now an official twin town with Killarney.

The idea to twin the picturesque town near Rome was first mooted by the old Killarney Town Council.

However, when town councils were discontinued in 2014 the task was handed over to Killarney Town Twining Association and was supported by the elected Killarney Municipal District members of Kerry County Council.

A delegation from the association and the council visited Casperia in 2019 to sign the Italian side of the twining agreement.

The pandemic further delayed the process but on Thursday last Killarney Mayor Niall Kelleher and Casperia Mayor Marco Cusso met to formally sign the charter in Killarney.

“This was honouring a commitment made by the former town council to establish a twinning under European guidelines back in 2014,” said association chairman Sean Counihan.

“Unfortunately the town councils were abolished and Killarney Town Twinning Association pursued the matter.

“We are delighted that the municipal authority saw fit to move the beautiful town of Casperia near Rome from association status to full twinning with Killarney.

“We deeply appreciate the members’ positivity in honouring the former Town Council’s decision.”

The signing between the two mayors took place over the St Patrick’s Festival weekend when Killarney Town Twining Association also welcomed groups from other towns like Pleindfeld in Germany and Concord, North Carolina, USA.

The Fossa Two Mile branch of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann held its first Rambling House night of music and dance on Saturday night.

Their return to the stage was timed to coincide with the St Patrick’s weekend celebration and also marked the first big event at the Castlerosse Park Resort since it re-opened on Thursday night following its winter break.

As well as a feat of Irish music, dance and poetry, Fossa-based Ukrainians gave performances in their native language too.

“What a great night we had at our CCÉ Rambling House last Saturday night,” Chairman Tim Kissane said.

“There are so many people to thank that we apologise in advance if we miss anybody out. Firstly, to the management and staff Castlerosse Park Resort for hosting our event and the wonderful service they provided.

“To our very talented stalwart musicians Mike Jack, Noreen and Maura who entertained us all so well from start to finish.

“To all our guest performers, from The Racing Pigeons to the Biddy Group and all the singers, musicians and storytellers in between go raibh mile maith agaibh. Special mention to our Ukrainian singers who performed two songs in their native language for us on the night. Thank you to all our members and supporters and to Fear an Tí, Mick Myers agus Bean an Tí, Theresa Kissane who kept the night flowing. Our fireplace display was kindly lent to us by the Beaufort Pioneers and adorned with ‘things of old’ from Brendan O’Sullivan.”
