Dee Whelan

General Manager

Dee

I’ve been the General Manager at RIT Travel since day one, bringing my experience as a Sales & Revenue Manager in hotels into the world of travel. My favourite place in Ireland is Wexford for its stunning beaches and fresh strawberries. When I travel, I always look for a room with a balcony where I can enjoy my morning coffee. Fun fact: I lived on Jersey Island in my twenties, and outside of work, I love experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. The best part of my job is building relationships with our suppliers and tour guides. My travel tip? Take the scenic country roads over motorways—and don’t forget a double cheeseburger for the ride!

Vice President

Conor

Born in Dublin, I have spent my life travelling throughout Ireland and the UK. My role in the company started by delivering mail, and has grown to a pivotal position in the family business over the past 20 years. In my free time, I enjoy playing golf, football and hockey, and I never turn down a live gig. Although I now call Toronto home, I frequently visit the Dublin office to collaborate with RIT partners in Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales.

Originally from Canada I moved over to Ireland in 2016 when we opened our office here and have been loving it ever since! With how often we were over visiting Ireland as kids it always felt like a second home, and now I call it home working for the family business! My favourite place in Ireland would have to be Clare, so many beautiful spots to visit and catching a sunset over the ocean with a pint of Guinness is a sight to behold. Favourite place I’ve ever been would have to be New Zealand. Driving around in a campervan with my 2 best mates for 4 weeks, sleeping at the foot of mountains and then climbing them the next day.

FIT & Chauffeur Reservations Manager

Andrew

For the past five years, I've been living the dream as the FIT & Chauffeur Reservations Manager at RIT Travel, crafting unforgettable adventures across Ireland and beyond. My favourite spot in Ireland? Donegal, hands down. It's so far from my home in Wexford that it feels like a mini-exotic escape every time I visit. My ultimate travel companion? David Attenborough, of course! Who better to narrate my adventures as I roam the wilds? My number one travel tip? Always find the 'snug' in Irish pubs—you'll thank me later.

Nadine Rusell

FIT Executive

Nadine

With a career in the hospitality industry that began in 2017 at Dalata, I have steadily gained valuable experience across multiple areas, including food and beverage, reception, and reservations. These roles helped me build a strong foundation in hotel operations, but it was my passion for sharing Ireland's beauty that led me to my dream job at RIT Travel. Now, I have the privilege of helping others in discovering the hidden gems of my beloved homeland. Each day brings new learning opportunities, and I take great joy in sharing Ireland's culture and landscapes with our amazing clients. Kilronan castle is a must stay location! With friendly welcomes, delicious food and an amazing indoor swimming pool – it is hard to leave the place!
