Killarney House nods to yesteryear with €10m revamp

Restored in part to its magnificent splendour, a number of public rooms in Killarney House, Co Kerry, were officially opened yesterday after a €10m makeover to the property and grounds.

The building is State property which had fallen into terrible disrepair. The public will have free access for a number of weeks over the summer to the restored manor in the tourist town.

Furthermore, the Irish Museum of Modern Art is “to expand its reach” and showcase its collections in the 18th-century structure and adjoining new exhibition centre, Minister Heather Humphreys announced.
