Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce has expressed condolences to the relatives and friends of the late Mrs Elisabeth Vincent, whose husband’s family presented 11,000 acres of land and Muckross House to the Irish State, which then became Ireland’s first national park.
She passed away this week at her home in Monte Carlo.
Although the Bourn Vincent family travelled extensively, they always regarded Muckross and Killarney as their home and they invested huge sums of money maintaining and improving the property which overlooks the Lakes of Killarney.
Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce President, Niall Kelleher, said Killarney will be forever grateful to the Bourn Vincent family for their wonderful gift of Muckross House and what is now Killarney National Park to the people.
