Application lodged for €40 million development at Trump’s Doonbeg golf course (Irish Times) The new plan includes 53 holiday homes, a ballroom/function room, a leisure centre and a new restaurant. Putting a value of €40million on the planned development, Mr Russell said the resort is enjoying its “best year so far since the resort commenced full operations back in 2006”. He said “economic growth has led to a strong domestic market but the USA business has been terrific this year” adding that the resort being on the Wild Atlantic Way has also added to business. Trump Doonbeg is the 16th in the Trump International portfolio and the hotel accommodates 45,000 guests each year with over 50 per cent coming from North America.

Aer Lingus plans to almost double its transatlantic fleet to 30 aircraft over next five years (Independent) Aer Lingus thinks it can almost double its transatlantic fleet from 17 to 30 aircraft over next five years, as its positioned to be the number one ‘value’ airline linking Europe and North America. The plan was unveiled at an investor day for Aer Lingus owner IAG, which also owns BA and low cost long haul brand Level. For Aer Lingus, the plan means new direct and connecting travel options centred on Dublin. The Irish airline currently has a transatlantic seat capacity of 2.8 million per annum. The increase in aircraft would see this grow to 4.7 million seats.

If Ryanair treated their customers like this, there would a sh*t storm in the media.

In May, Shannon Commercial Properties confirmed it was seeking to appoint a new contractor to complete its new office block after the High Court had appointed an interim examiner to Kildare based building contractors the Sammon Group. Is this building now finished? How is the new drive-thru Starbucks taking off in the Shannon Free Zone and the new JJ Ruddle’s Bar & Restaurant at the airport?

Brennans Row wrote: » JJ Ruddles Restaurant & Bar (Tess Stanford) The most challenging factor in the design process was to create a space that could transform throughout the day seamlessly from a morning and daytime café into a destination evening restaurant & bar, operational hours being 5am to 11pm. In addition to this, both the client and the Airport were keen to attract clientele from outside the airport in the nearing town and businesses from the Shannon Free Zone Industrial estate. In effect, create a destination restaurant and in doing so drive even more foot-fall through the Airport.
