New range of holistic treatments at the Dunloe

A new exclusive luxury treat - which is one hundred percent natural and handmade - has just been launched at the Dunloe Hotel & Gardens.
GROUND holistic treatments, designed by Peigín Crowley, is a collection of face balms and body oils that are natural, giving nourishment while helping to bring focus, ritual and intention into our mind and body.
The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens is proud to offer a team of veteran holistic therapists, who look forward to guiding you through your treatment experience, delivering unique body treatments featuring the artisan products from GROUND Wellbeing.
Where ‘time in nature’ is the greatest healer of all – The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens offers the most stunning location overlooking the Gap of Dunloe and Corrán Tuathail, encouraging walks through the private 64 acre estate with beautiful gardens. Then you are invited to surrender to a GROUND restorative ritual, created to encourage us all to ‘tóg go bog é’, to take it softly and to mind ourselves.
REPLENISH
GROUND Rituals at The Dunloe Hotel and Gardens have been created to celebrate the importance of taking space for sacred moments to mind yourself and be minded, to reconnect to source and replenish. Blending mindfulness - being fully present in our body - with breathwork, the power of touch, and the potent aromatherapy oils, GROUND Rituals will invite this awareness while encouraging a relaxed and peaceful state, a return to self.
“It has been a wonderful experience to launch GROUND ‘hands-on therapy’ rituals with The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens, especially as the hotel is bedded into such a spectacular natural landscape - lending itself beautifully to the notion of grounded rituals and wellness retreats for those looking to restore and reset, spending time in nature,” creative aromatherapist and GROUND founder, Peigín Crowley, said. "I am very proud to partner with such a gem in Killarney.”
There are four GROUND Rituals at The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens — The Grounding Full Body Massage (60mins - €90), The Grounding Ritual (60mins - €90 or 90mins - €150), The Restorative Face, Neck and Scalp Ritual (60mins - €90), and The Comforting Ritual (60mins - €90 or 90mins - €150 for pregnancy). Each GROUND Ritual includes gentle breathwork, hands-on rhythmical pressures and techniques, including Gua Sha stones and the compelling powers of aromatherapy oils. All these elements combine to create a mindful moment in time customised for you - a moment to be truly present in your body as you lean into relaxation and peacefulness.
GROUND Rituals are exclusively available at The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens and to reserve a spa treatment, please email treatments@thedunloe.com in advance of your arrival to avoid disappointment.

Jessie Buckley to perform live on RTE this Friday 22nd September

This Culture Night, Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh will present an hour-long live music and arts programme from Dún Lúiche in the heart of the Donegal Gaeltacht at 7pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.
Actress and singer Jessie Buckley has been added to the list of stellar musicians who will perform with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra on the night. Jessie will perform a special rendition of a Sinéad O’Connor song in tribute to the late artist.
Jessie commented: “I am very honoured to return to Culture Night 2023 to remember Sinéad O Connor with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra. Sinéad was such a huge influence on so many women in Ireland and across the world, her courage, her mind, her politics and her intense beauty and soul. She was a warrior to humanity. I remember hearing her for the first time and feeling her uncompromising need to connect and affect. Recognising what couldn’t be said and speaking it out loud. I am so grateful for all her fire and all her love. It is such a privilege to return to Ireland for RTÉ Culture Night in Donegal to sing a song of gratitude for Sinéad and her family and friends.”
Other artists performing with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra include The Murder Capital, R&B singer and 2FM Rising star Aby Coulibaly and Irish-based Ukrainian musician Olesya Zdorovetska.

The revealing of the preferred route corridor for the construction of the new Killarney to Farranfore road has been delayed – again.
Four potential routes for the N22 Farranfore-Killarney project were identified and were put out to public consultation in May 2021. These have now been whittled down to just one.
It was previously promised that the preferred route would be published late last year.
This dragged on in to the Spring and there is still no sigh of the preferred route being revealed.
A recent Kerry County Council meeting a council official explained that there are further funding requirements to allow the council complete various reports and investigations required before the road can move to its next phase.
