Statement By Casey
Casey stated, “In the short time I have been at Powerscourt Hotel Resort & Spa, I have had the pleasure to meet with the truly passionate hotel leadership team.

Exceptional hotels are continually evolving and improving, and I know that there will be several exciting projects ahead.”
