Commenting on this he said:  “It is such an infectious industry, I loved the camaraderie with colleagues, the pressure when it was busy, the attention to detail when setting a room for a large function, where everything had to be perfect.  That’s where I caught the hospitality bug”.Rónán O’Halloran
