German Finance Minister Herr Hans Eichel and Minister Charlie McCreevy visit Taylors Irish Night

Amid much speculation by the Irish financial press, Hans Eichel secretly paid a visit to Minister Charlie McCreevy in January 2002, following a private invitation by the Irish Minister for Finance. They managed to give the paparazzi the slip though, and wound up enjoying the entertainment in Taylors Irish Night, to the amazement of a neighbouring German tour group.

Taylors hosts final party evening for Failte Ireland Travel Trade Workshop 2002
We were delighted and honoured to be asked once again to host this prestigious event, when over 300 overseas tour operators partied into the small hours of the morning to the tunes of the Merry Ploughboys and Irish dancers, followed by a late bar and disco. The venue was specially closed for this important event. One of the main attractions was the wonderful seafood buffet, which featured a basking shark caught the previous day off the coast of Donegal! Everyone appeared suitably relaxed after a tough two day workshop in the RDS.
