    Hopefully they’ll invest money in what are some of the most soulless and dated hotels in the country. They have the name of being nothing short of knocking shops. Bit of time effort and money is badly needed.

    They don’t need to. They have close to full occupancy every night. They don’t try or want to be a five star.

    Maybe they will finally invest some money in staffing, as at the moment they are running nowadays ”labour camps”

    €130,000 per room? Sounds juicy. Product of ultra low interest rates I guess.

    The original Jury’s in Dame Street was a real hotel and the bar was particularly nice, as Joni Mitchell put it
    “Don’t it always seem to go
    That you don’t know what you’ve got
    Till it’s gone
