The negotiations on the acquisition of Doyle Hotels by Jurys are now almost complete and an announcement that the deal is to proceed is expected shortly. The two groups first announced the proposed deal last September, but negotiations have been slow and there has been speculation that the deal could fall apart.
However, the terms of the agreement are now understood to have been settled. The deal will create by far the largest Irish hotel group, with 28 hotels in Ireland, the US and Europe.
