Hotel chief leaves behind perfect family home

GENERAL manager of Cork’s Clarion Hotel, Charlie Sheil, is taking the top post as GM of the new Gibson Hotel at the Point Village in Dublin this month, ahead of its scheduled June opening.

And Sheil is not only leaving a job, but also a house and home at Kilbrody, Mount Oval Village, in Rochestown, Cork.

“We’ve had four great years here and it’s a very nice quiet area — very near the school and it’s got a big green — it’s the perfect place for bringing up the family,” he says.
