LIVE: McGregors are in town! Fireworks at Cashel Palace as Conor McGregor's sister weds
The sister of MMA fighter and whiskey tycoon Conor McGregor has chosen the five-star Cashel Palace Hotel as the secret venue for her upcoming wedding
The town of Cashel is buzzing as the talk fills the air about the celebrity wedding of the year - which is reported to be taking place today (Saturday) at the Cashel Palace Hotel as Erin McGregor, sister of Conor McGregor, ties the knot.
The sister of MMA fighter and whiskey tycoon Conor McGregor has chosen the five-star Cashel Palace Hotel as the secret venue for her upcoming wedding.
The Dancing with the Stars TV show star got engaged to long-term partner Terry Kavanagh in December, 2022 and for the last number of months the excitement levels have been building in Cashel as the wedding came into focus and now the big day has arrived with a fireworks display planned for Saturday night.
Cllr Liam Browne said: "Just to give people a heads up with the celebrity wedding in the Palace this afternoon (and best wishes to the happy couple), there will be fireworks this evening at 10pm.
"I know people have different views on them...I love them, others hate them, but with some people may want to look after animals, so keep an eye out."
The town is used to hosting big names and the five-star Cashel Palace Hotel has become a firm favourite since it reopened in recent years after a long closure.
In recent months big names such as Robbie Henshaw, the Ireland rugby star, celebrated marriage with his wife Sophie Marren and guests in the beautiful Tipperary town.
On that occasion other members of the Ireland rugby team dropped into local pubs such as Foley's and the Bailey's Hotel where they mingled with locals and wedding goers alike.
Over the year's famous names like the Kennedy's, Alex Ferguson, Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor amongst others have all visited and stayed at the iconic hotel in the heart of Tipperary that once was the home of the Archbishop's in the area.
