Quinlan could bid for Jurys Doyle

MILLIONAIRE property developer Derek Quinlan is reportedly interested in buying the Jurys Doyle Hotel Group.

Mr Quinlan, who owns London's Maybourne Hotel group along with other Irish millionaires, is said to have engaged brokers NCB to advise on a possible bid.

He was reportedly looking at a takeover that would get the support of the Doyle and Beattie families, who own more than 30% of Jurys and oppose the offer by Precinct Investments.
