Adare Manor Hotel (Co.Limerick)

Home to golf’s 2027 Ryder Cup, the Adare Manor Hotel claims it is “…prestige without pretense and magic without nonsense. Above all, it is the sense of belonging. You are known. You are family. You are home.” Without ‘pretence’, but with bucketloads of pretentiousness for sure. More to the point, the Irish Council Against Blood Sports (ICABS) posted in August 2025 that “There is disgust at a video showing fox hunters and a pack of hounds arriving at Adare Manor hotel on the day of a wedding.” The video – which is still on Tik Tok but has since been deleted from Instagram – was posted by wedding planning company Olivia Buckley International and showed the Limerick Foxhounds on the grounds of the hotel. It’s titled “A regal escort to dinner at Adare Manor” and captioned “Call for Dinner? Let’s paws and think how we could do this differently”. Adare Manor Hotel is owned by billionaire businessman John “JP” McManus who not only welcomes fox hunters to his hotel but has also supported hare coursing and horse and greyhound racing. At a coursing event disgracefully sponsored by him at Limerick Racecourse, ICABS filmed hares being hit and severely mauled by greyhounds. One hare hit by the dogs could be clearly heard crying out. Yes, Adare Manor Hotel, to quote your own website you are indeed ‘known’ – for supporting animal abuse…
