Jurys to sell flagship hotel sites

SINCE day one the markets have said the shareholding of the daughters of PV Doyle and their close associates would ultimately determine the future of the Jurys Doyle Group.

Between them, the three Doyle sisters: Bernie Gallagher; ER Monahan and Anne Roche hold 22% of the equity, while former director Walter Beatty has a near 8% stake.

Two of the sisters are directors of the group, while Anne Roche's interests are represented by Tom Roche of NTR Plc, the toll road company, on the Jurys Doyle board.
