More than 180 tour directors, drivers, guides and coach operators from across Ireland gathered in Killarney last weekend for a special Mass to remember colleagues who have passed away over the years.

The Mass was held at the Franciscan Friary and was organised by Tour Director Murt O’Shea, along with fellow CIE Tours Tour Director Philip Duffy. Participants travelled from all over the country to attend.
The service was led by Fr Anthony, with readings delivered by Michael Redmond, the most senior driver/guide in the industry with 62 years’ service, and Dominic Dixon.
The Mass was inspired by the recent passing of Con O’Leary of the Laurels Bar, Killarney, a long-time friend of the touring community. The most recent colleague remembered was Jamie O’Mahony, who passed away unexpectedly.
