According to a new Fáilte Ireland report, Dublin city will have more than 5,000 brand new hotel rooms between now and 2020, with 3,000 of those already under construction.
But based on projected levels of visitor demand, Fáilte Ireland chief executive Paul Kelly says there is a “strong incentive” for more investors to move in.

Educate Together has opened four new second-level schools and two new national schools this week. None of the schools will open in their permanent accommodation. Educate Together said in a statement that this is not ideal for any developing school.
Three secondary schools are set for Dublin (Dublin South City, Firhouse and Malahide) and one will open in Limerick, while the new primary schools are in Fermoy and Dublin South City.
