Share your memories of Killarney House
T
THE floodgates of memory opened last weekend when Killarney House hosted a “memories collection day” to gather stories, photographs and mementoes.
The day was extremely successful, said Killarney House & Gardens manager Pat Dawson. "There was a significant quality of information and the memories were really superb,” he said.
It is hoped to create an oral history surrounding Killarney House and the team there would love to hear from you if you have any memories you would like to share – particularly relating to John and Mary McShain, their daughter Sister Pauline, Beatrice Grosvenor, and Lord Castlerosse.
“I would like to thank all the people who came out on Saturday in spite of the bad weather. We are open from 8.30am to 6pm and get in touch with either myself or any member of staff,” added Pat. You can also phone Pat on 087-2180598 or 064-66 770142 or email pat.dawson@chg.gov.ie
