Radisson Blu

So first of all, get somewhere with breakfast.

Secondly, what was really great about the Radisson Blue is it was meant to be kind of five star.

It was nice, but definitely

not great.

And Tommy is currently embarking, about to embark on his latest tour, the Encore Tour, and he will appear in a number of locations here in the North West in coming weeks.

He's in Ballybuffet on the 2nd of October, Carrick and Shannon on the 3rd, and Homecoming in the Radisson Blue Hotel in Sligo on the 4th of October.

It's been an eventful few months for Tommy, I think it's fair to say.

for reasons which have been well publicised in the national media.

And we've set it up.

Uh, it's a free event taking place tomorrow from 5:30 PM onwards at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Letterkenny.

Mm.

And it's open to everyone over 18.

No booking is required.

Refreshments will be available.

It's a beautiful venue, uh, the Radisson Blu.

There's no doubt, uh, Blu, no doubt about that.

Lynne, our paths first crossed probably about 15 years ago.

There was a conference in Dublin at Radisson Blue and I think you had a mohawk at the time.

I

probably did, yeah.

Um, Mali state TV says the government has declared a 10-day state of emergency beginning at midnight.

About three guys with AKs went in and, uh, hit the Radisson Blu Hotel there.

Uh, one American, I now understand, is dead from that.

It's, it's everywhere.

Dark Matter Network News.

This is Amy Martin.

While at this hour, details are unconfirmed, at least 20 have been reported dead following a hostage situation involving 170 people at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Mali.

Islamic extremists said to be armed with guns and grenades stormed the luxury hotel in Mali's capital Friday morning.

Are you taking on an existing building or

building your own? It's an existing asset, existing building, exists for the last 20 years.

OK, so where the Radisson Blue used to be is where the Hoxton is going to be.

Correct.

And in terms of location, location, location, important for you, why that location?

you're looking at solid, dependable central chain properties.

The Clarion, the Scandic, the Thon, the Radisson Blue, most of these are clustered right around the harbor in Storgata.

The value of this mid-range tier is not necessarily about luxury linens or room service.

It is entirely about location.

Oh yeah, Amy, it is time for, we are deep in planning at the moment for our Women in Agriculture Conference and I'm absolutely delighted to say that we're heading to Cork for the very first time.

We're going to the Radisson Blue Hotel in Little Island on the 29th of October, Thursday the 29th of October and tickets go on sale on the 8th of September and we're really looking forward to it.

Are you coming yourself, Amy? Of course, of course, I wouldn't miss it.

Brilliant.
