SHANNON WALSHE - KILKENNY ORMONDE HOTEL
Shannon is originally from Wexford, but has been living in Kilkenny for a few years. She’s 23 and is a receptionist at The Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel.
“Being a massive people person, this job is perfect for me. I’m also an admin of a virtual book club with over 400 members and eight lovely admins. It’s amazing to have such a large group of people to share my love for books with,” she says.
“On my days off, I mainly spend them with family and friends, going for walks in nature, and maybe a ‘little’ shopping trip here and there.”
