Recognised for their hard work and dedication has secured a trip to the 'Big Apple' for two local employees.

Each month at The Killarney Park and The Ross, four awards are given to team members in recognition of excellence in the areas of friendliness, respect, teamwork, and delivering an exceptional guest experience.

This year at their Christmas party, the 'Most Valued Employees' for both hotels were recognised, and the award recipients for 2022 were Sheila Fahy, a Chef at The Killarney Park for over nine years, and Adam Kania, Sous Chef who has worked at The Ross Hotel for 13 years.

"Sheila and Adam embody the values we strive to achieve, and their dedication and commitment are greatly appreciated," said Marcus Treacy, General Manager of The Killarney Park.

As winners of the 'Most Valued Employees' award, Sheila and Adam will each receive a trip for two to New York City, a testament to The Killarney Park and The Ross hotels’ commitment to rewarding and recognising their employees.
