It is with great sadness we announce the untimely death of our former General Manager, Martina Rafferty.

Martina joined the Dungloe Waterfront Hotel in 2017 as Sales and Marketing Manager. She was quickly promoted to General Manager in 2018. Martina guided the business with great zeal and professionalism during her tenure.

She and her team were responsible for many wonderful events held  at the Waterfront Hotel. Including weddings, christenings, birthday and anniversary celebrations and for many years would have driven the Mary From Dungloe Gala Ball.

In 2020 when Covid hit,  Martina came to the helm and guided us through an incredibly difficult time facilitating both staff and guests to avail of the hospitality that had been curtailed during that difficult time.

Also in 2020 the TV programme ‘At Your Service’ initiated filming at The Dungloe Waterfront Hotel and Sweenys Hotel. Martina was heavily involved and displayed her professionalism, boundless enthusiasm and vibrant glow. Martina saw the Sweeneys Hotel project through many years of hard work and challenging moments until we opened the doors in July 2024.

Martina left our operation in June 2025 to further her career within the hospitality industry. She will be sadly missed by our clients who Martina had left a resonating impression upon and her work colleagues who are just devastated at her passing. 

Our thoughts  and prayers go out to her family at this time.

A big congratulations to all of the Leaving Cert students across Dungloe and beyond who received their results this morning! 🎓💚

We know there were plenty of nerves and excitement around today, and we’re especially proud of our own young team here at Sweeney’s who received their results too. It’s been lovely watching you work hard both in school and here with us, and we hope you’re all delighted with what you’ve achieved.

Whatever comes next, there are so many exciting paths ahead.
