2014 is set to be a massive year for sport in Ireland. Here at
the d Hotel, we’re particularly excited to welcome the Giro d’Italia to Ireland,
and feel extra lucky that Drogheda will feature on the Giro d’Italia route map.
For those of you who may not be familiar with the Giro; this
is one of the biggest cycling events in the world. Think Tour de France. In
Italy. And next year; in Ireland. Belfast has been chosen as the location to
start the Giro in 2014, and pre-match celebrations will take place for days. On
leaving Belfast, cyclists will tour through Armagh before passing through
Dundalk, Drogheda and onto Dublin. This truly is a privilege and will be a
fantastic event for Irish people and tourists alike.
The weekend in question is 10-12 May 2014 and plans are
already afoot. For a great base to stay half way between Dublin and Belfast,
Drogheda is the perfect location. d Hotel rates are currently on offer from
€119 B&B per room. Located on the train route from Dublin to Belfast, Droghfeda based fans of
the Giro can plan their itinerary using public transport during their stay.
