Donnacha Hurley said, “I have greatly valued the opportunity to lead Limerick Chamber and to work with its team, Board and members.

“Hospitality has been an important part of my career, and the opportunity to return to the sector as General Manager of the Strand Hotel is one I am very excited to take up.

“I am grateful for my time with Limerick Chamber and wish the team, Board and members every success for the future.”

The Chamber’s senior leadership team will manage day-to-day operations during the transition, with oversight from the Board, and the Board will consider the Chamber’s longer-term leadership arrangements and communicate further in due course.
