300 New Jobs Announced At Adare Manor
A total of 300 new jobs are to be created at Adare Manor, a hotel and golf resort in County Limerick.
The Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Mary Mitchell-O'Connor, made the announcement at an event at the resort alongside Patrick O'Donovan, Minister of State for Tourism and Sport, local representatives and friends of Adare Manor.
Adare Manor has been undergoing major refurbishment and construction works for the past 12 months to enhance all areas of the resort and is on schedule to open in Q4 2017.
Currently, there are 670 construction employees working daily on this restoration, refurbishment, expansion and golf course re-design project.
Adare Manor is seeking to employ a wide range of suitably qualitied individuals to work at the resort, from Senior leadership team members, Front Office Management, Food & Beverage Management, Assistant Management, Spa Therapists, Culinary team of all disciplines, to operational team members, including Receptionists, Accommodation Assistants, Waiting staff, Bartenders, Banqueting Personnel and Laundry Assistants.
Welcoming the 300 new jobs, Minister Mitchell-O'Connor said: "I am delighted to be here in Adare today for this great news story. The creation of 300 new jobs, following on from over 600 construction jobs during the refurbishment works, is a huge boost for Co. Limerick and the wider Mid West region. It's also great to see the Adare Manor Resort being redeveloped, given the importance and benefit of tourism to the region. Heartiest congratulations to all concerned."
It is estimated that the resort will contribute in excess of €15 million to the local economy annually.
The major refurbishment and construction works include upgrading and restoring internal finishes, furniture and woodwork, and repairing the external stonework and windows.
Colm Hannon, Chief Executive Officer, Adare Manor, also said: "We have had an overwhelming interest from all over the world in the major renovation and construction works taking place at Adare Manor over the past 12 months. During the construction stage over 670 persons have been employed on site with several others employed indirectly in the project. The major refurbishment plans are on schedule and we plan to open in Q4 2017.
"Adare Manor is ideally situated in the heart of Adare Village, one of the most picturesque places to visit in all of Ireland, and just 25 minutes from Shannon International Airport. We expect the newly refurbished property, which will employ in excess of 350 personnel directly will attract c. 60,000 visitors annually. The property will continue to play a key role in generating revenue directly and indirectly for the local and national economy.
"A considerable amount of Irish people working overseas wishing to return to Ireland have expressed interest in positions at the resort. We are delighted to be able to confirm today that we are ready to take applications from suitably qualified personnel to fill these all of these 300 new positions, and would encourage individuals to submit their applications."
