Surprise party for popular concierge Kevin O’Shea

Despite the stormy weather, former and current staff of the Aghadoe Heights Hotel gathered in Listry to celebrate the 60th birthday of popular concierge, Kevin O'Shea.

The surprise party was a tribute to O'Shea, who has been a dedicated member of the Aghadoe Heights team for many years.

As a token of their appreciation, his colleagues presented him with a unique gift: a caricature of himself at work, created by the renowned Dublin artist Niall O'Loughlin.

O'Laughlin is best known for his work on iconic films like ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’, ‘All Dogs Go To Heaven,’ and ‘Help! I'm a Fish!’.

O'Shea was joined by his family and friends, including John and Orla Delaney, Kevin and Siobhan O'Shea, Darragh O'Shea, and Rachel Dower. Other attendees included Marie O'Connor, Marie Janot, Breda Moriarty, Laurent Janot, David O'Brien, Jason Higgins, Breda Lucey, Christina Nugent, Mikey Cronin, Tina Cronin, Padraig Casey, Katherine Cronin, Maura Casey, Noreen McGillicuddy, Patsy O'Brien, Brenda Courtney, Linda Kennedy, Jacinta Prendergast, Marie Chawke, Brendan Harnett, Aine Young, and Pat Chawke.
The event was captured by photographer Marie Carroll-O'Sullivan.
