The future of The Fairways Hotel remains very much up in the air this morning after it closed its doors last night.
The Dublin Road hotel was briefly shut down before Christmas leading to panic amongst one bride and groom over whether their New Year’s Eve wedding would go ahead.
The hotel did reopen for that event, with management stating in last week’s Dundalk Democrat that it would be business as usual from yesterday (January 5th 2015) when a new owner was due to take over.
However, last night the hotel posted a closed sign on their Facebook page, with a number of couples who had planned to wed there in 2015 reporting that they would now have to look for an alternative venue with no prospect of getting their deposits back.
Furthermore, while the hotel’s website www.fairways.ie makes no mention of the closure, it will not allow anyone to book any rooms for the foreseeable future.
It remains to be seen whether the hotel is closed for good or for renovation but the immediate future certainly looks bleak for what was a large employer that played host to countless events, weddings and christenings over the years.
Commenting on LMFM this morning, Dundalk Chamber of Commerce PRO Paddy Malone said it was important management came out and let staff and customers know what the future held and what the situation was.
“It’s a huge resource for the town and it would be an awful pity to see it lost,” he said.
UPDATE: Following the closure of The Fairways Hotel yesterday a number of groups have been on to let people know about alternative arrangements.
The Road Safety Authority have confirmed that their driving test centre has now been moved to the Crowne Plaza Hotel.
Meanwhile, Fiona Pepper’s Slimming World group has been moved to The Imperial Hotel. It takes place Thursdays at 3.30pm, 5.30pm, 7.30pm and on Fridays at 9.30am.
The group will meet on the first floor, with access via a lift or stairs from the main door.
Meanwhile, Kayleigh Fisher’s Slimming World group, who normally meet on Tuesday nights, will now be located in The Windmill Bar on Quay Street.
Local wedding store Butterflyz and Angelz closed their premises in Park Street on Saturday ahead of their relocation to the Flurry Bridge Business Park, off the M1 at Junction 20 Jonesborough.
Commenting on their Facebook page, store owner Bernie Rice said: “Hey everyone, on one level I am sorry to say that we closed our beautiful shop in Dundalk yesterday because our lease was up. On a higher level we are sooo excited about our new ventures, yes plural, ventures! At Junction 20 Flurry Bridge business park. We now have two showrooms. one for our wedding and event planning and decor, Room Angelz, and one for our award winning wedding boutique, Butterflyz and Angelz.
“Please bear with us while we relocate and make sure that both are up to the standards that is expected of us.”

Wedding photographer David Ryan has put together a collection of his favourite pictures from weddings he covered in the first six months of the year.

It’s certainly one of the nicer churches in the town and this captures that perfectly.
