Hayes Hotel Thurles Appoints New Operations Management

Hayes Hotel, Thurles, Co Tipperary

Joint receivers have been appointed to the land mark Hayes Hotel here in Thurles, and the Creggan Court Hotel, in Athlone, Co Westmeath, it has been confirmed today.

Kieran Wallace and Padraic Monaghan of KPMG accountancy have been put in place as joint receivers of both establishments.

KPMG have also announced new management operators for both hotels, with the Creggan Court, being now managed by Pillo Hotels Limited with immediate effect.

Leinster Overview Concepts Limited we understand will take over the running of the famous Hayes Hotel, best known as being the birthplace of the GAA, since back in 1884.

The receivers have confirmed that business will continue as normal at both hotels and there will be no noticeable interruptions to current day-to-day trading activity.

Both hotels will continue to fully honour all customer bookings, all deposits and all current memberships.

Despite confirmation, the appointment of new management operators will be seen here by Thurles residents as yet another blow to an already ailing uncertain rural town economy.

I trust that now many of our readers will more fully understand the reason for our recent “tirades,” regarding the Derrynaflan Hoard and the importance of profiling our badly neglected tourism industry in Thurles.
