U2 co-owners help boost business at the Clarence Hotel

The four-star boutique hotel in Dublin co-owned by U2 recorded profits of €400,000 last year.

Last month, the Dublin leg of the tour meant the Clarence Hotel was booked out for the week the band performed here.

The hotel employs 64 and the Clarence’s general manager Michael O’Connor said yesterday he was “very happy” with the level of business.
