The management of Peter’s Pub raised concerns over an extension to the Grafton Hotel on Johnson Place in Dublin. An Eamon Waters company has been granted planning permission to build an eight-storey, 71-bed extension to the Grafton Hotel, on Johnson Place in Dublin2 , across the road from the existing four-star hotel. The development will be affiliated and managed by The Grafton Hotel, it is noted in the application. In the letter, Colm Lydon, the group property manager for Sretaw Hotel Group, which includes The Grafton Hotel, said the hotel had been running near maximum occupancy in the recent past and forecast high occupancy going forward. The applicant company, Grafton Residence ULC, is owned by Panda Waste founder Eamon Waters through his Sretaw Hotel Group.
