One of Killarney’s best known and respected hoteliers has been named as the vice-chair of the Irish Hotel Federation (IHF).

Bernadette Randles, who is the current chair of the Kerry Branch of the IHF, was elected at the IHF’s national conference recently.

Her family are steeped in the hospitality industry in Kerry and have operated both the Dromhall and Randles Court hotels on the Muckross Road for years. The family is also involved in the motor industry and operate main dealerships in Killarney and Tralee.

“I am thrilled to be representing Kerry at a national level and to be able to voice the opinions of the hospitality sector. We can achieve so much locally but we need to sit at the national level to instigate change. I will continue to do my best for our industry that runs deep in my DNA,” she told the Killarney Advertiser.

Ms Randles has been a long-time advocate of reducing the VAT rate from 13.5% to 9% for the hospitality and service industries. During the recent General Election campaign she called on candidates to relax work permits and to commit to insurance reform.

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.

The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.

“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.

“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are: 

“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?

“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?

“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?

For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
