Huge congratulations to Jessie Buckley on winning Best Actress at the Oscars! 🌟
Jessie’s roots remain firmly in Killarney, where her family run the @arbutushotel and Buckley’s Bar, a proud VFI member.
A fantastic achievement, a proud moment for Kerry and for a family at the heart of Irish hospitality.
