‘Jobs secure’ as group takes on hotel

One of Cork’s best-known hotels is under new management following the appointment of a receiver.

The Dalata Hotel Group, which has taken over the running of the 80-bed three-star Midleton Park Hotel in East Cork, moved last night to reassure people there will be no job losses and that all bookings will be honoured.

Dalata’s chief executive, Pat McCann, also said he is confident they will be able to grow the hotel’s business now that it is part of the country’s biggest hotel group.
