Ireland is cool for tourists
Sir, – With growing reports of tourists increasingly favouring cooler destinations in response to rising global temperatures, Ireland finds itself uniquely positioned to capitalise on this emerging trend.
Rather than lament our famously mild and often unpredictable weather, we should reframe it as one of our greatest natural assets. In a warming world, cool is not just a climate – it's a commodity.
What better way for Fáilte Ireland to embrace this than with the bold, memorable slogan: 'Ireland is Cool' – a message that is both literal and irresistibly marketable.
As global travellers seek respite from heatwaves and scorched landscapes, Ireland offers lush greenery, refreshing breezes, and a climate that invites exploration without exhaustion.

United Airlines expands capacity on routes from Dublin to US
United Airlines will now operate its daily non-stop Dublin to Chicago routes on a year-round basis and has also expanded its second daily New York/Newark route into the winter months. On Friday, the American airline said it will now offer more flights and seats from Dublin Airport than any other US airline. 'This significant expansion further underlines the importance of Dublin within United's global network,' Karolien De Hertogh, United's UK and Ireland sales director, said. 'Our customers in Ireland will benefit from even greater travel choice in the winter season, with the possibility to seamlessly connect via our hubs in New York/Newark, Chicago O'Hare and Washington DC to over 140 destinations in the Americas.'

Watchdog clears Dalata's €83m deal for Radisson Dublin Airport
Dalata Hotel Group will give up the lease on the DAA-owned Maldron Hotel at Dublin Airport after the competition watchdog approved its bid to acquire the nearby Radisson Blu hotel from Alan McIntosh's Emerald Investments for €83 million. The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) said on Wednesday it had cleared Dalata's bid to buy CG Hotels Dublin Airport, which holds the long leasehold interest in the property. The CCPC said it had approved the €83 million transaction, subject to several conditions, one of which is that Dalata will have to surrender the lease on the nearby Maldron Hotel. Dalata said previously the Maldron lease is due to expire in January 2026. In a statement on Thursday afternoon, Dalata confirmed it had received approval for the acquisition and all conditions are now satisfied, with the transaction set to be completed before the end of the month. READ MORE Dalata said it is 'contractually committed to operating the Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport, under licence, into 2026, and will engage with the owner, DAA, to ensure an orderly handover of operations during the period'. Dalata chief executive Dermot Crowley said: 'We are pleased the regulatory approval process is now complete, and I am very excited about the future of the hotel within Dalata Hotel Group. 'I look forward to meeting the team at the hotel in the coming weeks and welcoming them into Dalata.' The transaction was notified to the CCPC last November, and the watchdog launched its investigation into the competition implications of the deal in April. CG Hotels Dublin Airport is a subsidiary of CG Hotels, which is linked to Mr McIntosh, a co-founder of Irish-listed home builder Cairn Homes, and his Emerald Investment Partners firm. The four-star hotel is on 4.4 acres to the east of Dublin Airport, comprising 229 bedrooms as well as meeting and events rooms. Dalata put itself up for sale in March, hiring investment bank Rothschild to carry out a strategic review of the business following a sustained period of underperformance by its stock. Earlier this month, the Dublin-listed group rejected a €1.3 billion bid from a Scandinavian consortium comprising Swedish peer Pandox, which owns hotels run under the Leonardo brand in Ireland, and Oslo-based Eiendomsspar, a leading shareholder in Dalata.
