Two Well-Known Dublin Hotels To Close

Two of Dublin's best-known hotels will close their doors today after 35 years in business.

Jury's Ballsbridge and the adjacent Berkeley Court have been bought by property developer Sean Dunne for approximately 380 million euro.

The sites will be redeveloped for apartments and commercial units.

Almost 600 staff will lose their jobs, but they have already accepted an offer of seven weeks redundancy pay per year of service from the Jurys Doyle group.
