The Brehon Leads the Way with Virtual Reality Technology
The Brehon is among the first hotels in Europe to introduce new cutting-edge, virtual reality technology which enables people anywhere in the world to take a tour of the hotel’s facilities.
And couples set to celebrate their wedding at The Brehon were the first people to experience the new technology at a special coffee morning on Sunday.
“Our new Virtual Reality Tour is specifically designed for people planning their wedding celebrations. Rather than just trying to imagine their wedding day, this tour enables couples to experience, from the perspective of the bride and groom, what The Brehon is like on a wedding day,” explains Weddings Sales Manager Sharon Devine.
The immersive 3D experience takes users on an animated show-around of the hotel from the red-carpet arrival reception right through to the gourmet wedding banquet. By simply donning a headset, users will be able to view three dimensional, animated images of the hotel.
“We have created this tour to help couples get a sense of how their Brehon wedding will unfold. Instead of sending you a brochure or asking you to view an image online we can now put you in the picture,” says Sharon. “We can immerse you in our beautiful surroundings and let you experience what it is like to celebrate your wedding at The Brehon. It will be particularly useful for couples planning their wedding from abroad.”
The Brehon virtual reality tour travels to the Wedding Journal Show which takes place in Dublin’s Citywest Convention Centre on September 22nd and 23rd. Couples attending the show are welcome to come along to stand D5 and give it a try. The Brehon team will also attend the Brides of Kerry Show in The Great Southern on Sunday, September 23rd.
To celebrate their new virtual reality experience, The Brehon team are offering 25% off any wedding booked to take place between January 1st and March 31st 2019 (Terms and Conditions apply).
For further information or to book your virtual reality tour contact The Brehon’s Wedding Sales Manager, Sharon Devine by phoning 064 6630700 or emailing sharon.devine@thebrehon.com

A private developer has been given planning permission to build 249 new residential units at Upper Park Road.
The development, which will be built on a recently cleared site near An Post’s sorting office, will include a variety of properties from five-bed houses to single apartments, along with a crèche and over 500 car spaces and over 300 bike spaces.
The development has been welcomed by local councillor Martin Grady.
“Killarney has a massive housing shortage so this is very positive. It will retain young families in the area, stimulating economic growth,” he said. “After 17 years of different planning applications it’s finally coming to fruition.”

Residents in the Ballydribeen are living in fear as a result of increased anti-social behaviour in the estate.
Several serious incidents in the estate have resulted in several Garda visits in the last week.
Local councillor Martin Grady told the Killarney Advertiser that residents are “living in fear” as a result of very serious incidents in the last week alone.
One house in the estate was badly damaged when fire crackers were placed inside a letter box.
Another house had its windows smashed in over the weekend.
“It’s a major problem,” added Grady after meeting residents there earlier this week.
One of the most serious incidents occurred on Tuesday night.
A passing motorists had rocks thrown at his car while driving along the bypass whch is adjacent to the estate.
Taking to social media, local primary-school teacher Pádraig O’Sullivan posted:
“Travelling home tonight, at 11.05pm on the Killarney side of the bypass our car was hit by a rock – not a pebble – from the Ballydribben side , which hit the passenger door.
“It was centimetres away from hitting the window where my father, who is visually impaired, was sitting.
“This could have caused catastrophic permanent injury to him.
“The Killarney Garda were on the scene within three minutes.
“They can’t be patrolling the bypass all night.
“It comes down to parenting. You should know where your children are at this hour and be able to teach them what’s funny and what ruin a person’s life or cause a fatal crash.“
