Double celebrations at Muckross Park Hotel & Spa

THERE were five-star celebrations at the five-star Muckross Park Hotel & Spa after it was recognised for its accommodation standards at the Irish Accommodation Services Institute gala awards held in County Wexford during the week.

The Killarney hotel took home two awards – the “overall supreme” award in the five-star category and gold medal in the five-star hotel category.

The Irish Accommodation Services Institute (IASI) is a national body representing the interest of the Accommodation industry in Ireland. The IASI promotes best practise standards across the industry. These awards recognise excellence and applaud the highest standards in accommodation services. The overall supreme award category included some very stiff competition with leading five star hotels from across Ireland in attendance.

Muckross Park Hotel & Spa general manager Sean O’Driscoll commended accommodation manager Breda Moriarty and her team for their superb achievement. “We were delighted to have won a gold medal award, but to achieve the overall supreme award in the competitive five-star category is an outstanding achievement and a credit to the team we have at Muckross Park Hotel,” said Mr O’Driscoll.

Muckross Park Hotel & Spa is ideally located in the heart of the beautiful Killarney National Park, with 25,000 acres of rivers, mountains and lakes offering guests spectacular walking trails, cycling routes, historic tours, horse riding and lake activities. The hotel has been awarded Ireland’s Best Five Star Wedding Venue in the RSVP awards this year and has been welcomed into leading dining guide, The McKenna Guide.

The exhibition, which runs from March 10 to March 31, explores the foundational years of the political party within the county between 1926 and 1933.

The exhibition details how the party established itself in a county where Civil War divisions were particularly deep-seated. It covers the transition of local figures from revolutionary activities to parliamentary politics and the intense election battles of the late 1920s. Visitors will be able to view documents and archives that illustrate how the party built its organisation across South Kerry in its first decade.

As part of the event, local historian and author Dr. Owen O’Shea will give a public lecture at the library on Thursday, March 26, at 7:00 p.m. His talk will focus on the foundation of the party and the “bullets to ballots” transition in Kerry politics. The exhibition is free to attend and will be open during the library’s scheduled operating hours throughout the month of March.
The project is the result of extensive research funded by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media. The grant was awarded under the Commemorations Bursary Scheme for 2025-2026 and managed by the Royal Irish Academy. This scheme supports local research that helps the public better understand the political and social evolution of Ireland following the Civil War.
