The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) has cleared, subject to legally binding commitments, the proposed acquisition of CG Hotels Limited (CG Hotels) by Dalata Hotel Group plc (Dalata) (M\/24\/075<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Dalata currently has a portfolio of 32 hotels in the State, the majority of which are operated under its \u2018Clayton\u2019 or \u2018Maldron\u2019 brands. Within its portfolio, Dalata operates the Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport and the Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport. CG Hotels currently operates the Radisson Blu Hotel Dublin Airport.<\/p>\n

The proposed acquisition was originally notified to the CCPC in November 2024. Following an extended preliminary investigation, the CCPC determined in April 2025 that a full investigation was required to establish if the proposed acquisition would lead to a substantial lessening of competition in the State. During the course of its investigation, the CCPC had potential competition concerns relating to the provision of hotel accommodation located at, or close to, Dublin Airport. These concerns included that the proposed acquisition could lead to Dalata having a high market share of hotel rooms at, or close to, Dublin Airport, and that the Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport, operated by Dalata, and Radisson Blu Hotel Dublin Airport, operated by CG Hotels, currently compete closely.<\/p>\n

To address any potential concerns of the CCPC arising from the merger, Dalata proposed a number of binding commitments to the CCPC in relation to the future management and operation of the Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport. These commitments will ensure continued competition between operators of hotels at, or close to, Dublin Airport, following implementation of the proposed acquisition.<\/p>\n

Following detailed examination and having taken into account the proposals made by Dalata, the CCPC has determined that the proposed acquisition will not substantially lessen competition and, as a result, can be put into effect. The commitments given by Dalata form part of the basis of the CCPC\u2019s determination to approve the proposed acquisition. The CCPC will publish its full determination on its website no later than 60 working days after the date of the determination and after allowing the parties the opportunity to request that confidential information be removed from the published version.<\/p>\n

To ensure compliance by Dalata with these commitments, an independent monitoring trustee, which will have all the rights and powers necessary to monitor compliance by Dalata with the commitments, will be appointed.
