The event, which included staff from the Great Southern and Killarney Royal, was hosted in the Events Centre and beautiful gardens of the Great Southern as a reward for all their hard work over an extremely busy summer season.

Staff were treated to a host of delicious delicacies and special appearances by local singer Cathal O’Flaherty and treats from Shake Waffle & Roll rounded off a great day for the team.

“We are absolutely delighted to welcome our team and their families as a thank you after a busy summer season,” event host and Hayfield Family Collection Managing Director, Michael Jacobi, said.

The Kerry Education and Training Board (Kerry ETB) has been awarded €2.3 million in funding to purchase the former Pretty Polly site on Upper Park Road, Killarney.

The funding, announced this morning by Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD, will allow Kerry ETB to develop the site as a new Tourism Sector Training College. The proposed facility will focus on training for the hospitality and tourism industries.
Kerry TD Michael Cahill described the announcement as “a major vote of confidence in Killarney and the wider Kerry tourism industry.”
“This is immense news for the town,” said Deputy Cahill. “It will mark Killarney out officially as the tourism capital of Ireland by providing a Hospitality Sector Training College right in the heart of the county.”
Deputy Cahill said he had been advocating for such a development since entering the Dáil, adding that the investment “will be a gamechanger for the hospitality sector in Killarney and Kerry.”
He also recalled the former CERT training centre that operated at the Torc Great Southern Hotel in the 1970s, noting that this new project would revive that legacy for a new generation of tourism professionals.
The Pretty Polly site, vacant for many years, will now be transformed into a key educational and economic hub for the region once the project proceeds.
