In today’s always-connected world, strong digital infrastructure is no longer a luxury—it’s a cornerstone of tourism and business. Whether it’s guests streaming movies, digital nomads taking Zoom calls, or hotels managing smart operations, robust broadband is essential to a quality experience.
That’s why Scotts Hotel in Killarney has made a superb upgrade by investing in cutting-edge fibre broadband to meet the needs of today’s visitor, while preparing for the demands of tomorrow. In partnership with Kerry-based telecom experts Ivertec and national fibre operator SIRO, Scotts has introduced a high-speed, dual-path fibre network that’s powering faster, more reliable internet across the entire hotel.
For businesses operating in today’s digital-first environment, the need for cloud-based tools, remote team collaboration, contactless payments, and large data transfers means connectivity must be robust, resilient, and future-proofed. This kind of infrastructure doesn’t enhances hospitality and empowers entire communities.
This upgrade is about more than faster Wi-Fi—it’s about future-proofing how we visit, work, and live in Kerry. Scotts Hotel is setting a new benchmark for digital readiness in Kerry, supporting seamless guest stays, smarter hotel operations, and the growing remote work economy.

As Maurice O’Donoghue, Managing Director of Scotts Hotel, puts it:
“Fast, reliable fibre broadband is not a nice-to-have, it is now essential for every business in the hospitality industry. Often, the first question our guests ask when they come through our doors is about the quality of connectivity across the hotel.”
The hotel now benefits from a dual-path fibre system, meaning if one route is ever interrupted, a backup automatically kicks in—ensuring round-the-clock service with no drop in performance.
