A proud Tipperary man through and through, Damienβs journey into the world of hospitality began during Transition Year in secondary school in Birr. A work experience placement at The Stables Restaurant sparked a lifelong passion for the industry, and he continued working there for six years during weekends and holidays π±

For the past seven years, weβve had the pleasure of working alongside Damien here at the Ice House Hotel. As our Reservations Manager, he helps guests plan their perfect stay with warmth, professionalism, and an exceptional eye for detail. He values the strong team spirit within the hotel and takes pride in working with owners who continue to invest in the property πΌ
Damien now lives in beautiful Pontoon with his wife, son, and their dog.
