New Hilton hotels to open in Ireland next year

The Hilton group says its two new hotels in Dublin and Limerick are on course to open early next year.

The 120-room Dublin hotel is part of the Chocolate Factory development beside Kilmainham Gaol, while the 184-room Limerick development is being built on the site of the former Jury's Hotel in the city.

Around 250 jobs will be created at the new hotels, which are being built by the Lalco development company.
