GAA president, Sean Kelly has welcomed An Bord Pleanala’s decision to grant planning permission for a new 232 bedroom hotel on Jones’ Road, opposite Croke Park.

Work will start on the project immediately and it is projected that it will be completed by April 2005.

Mr Kelly stated that this hotel would be the catalyst in the regeneration of the North Inner City Area and would be a major boost to Dublin Tourism and its support infrastructure. He said that it would further enhance the services provided in Croke Park and the world-class status of the stadium.
