DROMOLAND Castle has appointed Mark McSorley as its new general manager for both Dromoland Castle and the Inn at Dromoland.
Mr McSorley steps into the role following the tenure of Mark Nolan, who was in the position for 35 years.
A graduate of Shannon College of Hotel Management, Mr McSorley brings extensive expertise and a proven track record in the luxury hospitality industry.
His most recent role saw him serve as the general manager of the hotel and residences at the Quinta do Lago Resort in the Algarve, a luxury resort renowned as a world-class golfing destination.
Mark McSorley said that he is excited to return to Ireland after more than 20 years working abroad and is looking forward to the new role at Dromoland.
“I am truly honoured to take up the mantle at one of Ireland’s most esteemed properties – an iconic resort that holds immense significance for both the local community and Ireland as a whole,” he said.
“Having studied at Shannon College, I have always admired the castle’s magnificence and its role as a centerpiece of Irish culture and history.
“Returning to Ireland has always been at the back of my mind, and more a future thought, however when the opportunity came to join Dromoland, it was the one property that could bring me home,” Mr McSorley added.
Dromoland Castle’s Mark Nolan commented on the appointment of Mark McSorley, saying that the operation is “delighted to welcome Mark McSorley to Dromoland Castle Resort – while bittersweet, as it marks the end of my own tenure at the helm, it is also an exciting and positive prospect”.
