US BILLIONAIRE JOHN Malone has completed a reported €65 million deal for Dublin’s iconic Westin Hotel.
The Westmoreland Street property is the latest addition to Malone’s Irish portfolio, which also includes the Trinity City Hotel on Pearse Street and the Hilton on Charlemont Place.
Malone, who has invested in the three properties through with the Lalco Hotel Group, was dubbed ‘The Cable King’ in the US after a twenty-four year stint with telecommunications giant TCI.
Malone is the largest individual land-owner in the US, with a holding of close to 2.2 million acres in Maine, Maryland, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming.
Lalco director John Lally said that the Westin “fits exceptionally well with the profile of our other properties in terms of location and iconic status and our objective is to maintain its position as one of Ireland’s leading five star hotels.”
In addition to the Dublin hotels, Lalco also runs The Strand in Limerick, The Harbour Hotel in Galway and the Glenlo Abbey Hotel and Golf Club.

And this is how the halawa’s were able to get most of the footage taken down too .
I dont think that’s accurate. The ruling is that a result for the footage wouldn’t be shown – if you have a site with the footage in question playing on it Google cannot interfere with that, it may not list your site in the search results.
Having said that,your site would appear if you searched Google.com
Could you not use a different search engine to find info…..(shudders at the thought)
I’m so glad I had my teenage years in the 90′s, no incriminating evidence on the internet :)-
I tried to play the right to be forgotten card when I missed my girlfriends birthday this year, didn’t work out so well. Damn you Google!!
Ridiculous ruling exposing how far behind technology the law is
…and the snakes slither for cover
What’s needed isn’t a right to be forgotten. What’s needed is a right to have actions deemed irrelevant after time. Much as we cannot discriminate as to age, sex or race, maybe we should add “old mistakes” to that list.
