Clare Hotel Group To Be Rebranded

The hotels operated by Irish firm Dunne Group Hotels (DG Hotels) will be rebranded under the Ramada name as part of a rescue package, the Sunday Business Post reports today.

DG Hotels ran a chain of seven hotels in the west of Ireland, but went into examinership in June after running out of cash and amassing sizable debts. The company is now in the process of offloading a number of loss-making properties. It has already withdrawn from two hotels and is expected to leave a third in the coming weeks.

The company’s hotels include the Shannon Shamrock Hotel near Bunratty, Co Clare, the Two Mile Inn Hotel in Limerick, and Clybaun Hotel in Galway. It also operates the Woodstock Hotel in Ennis, Co Clare, and Patrick Punch’s Hotel in Limerick. The company disposed of its interest in the Ridgepool Hotel in Ballina, Co Mayo, and another property in recent weeks.

An elderly man was seriously injured in a road traffic collision in Clare yesterday evening, which also saw two other people hospitalised.

The two-car crash occurred shortly before 4pm at Cratloemoyle close to the Limerick/Clare border on the northbound lane of the Limerick to Ennis dual carriageway. One of the northbound lanes of the N18 was blocked for two hours.

The Irish Times newspaper reports today that two people were trapped in one vehicle and had to be cut from the wreckage by fire brigade officers. One of those, a 70-year-old man, was reported to be in a critical condition in hospital.
