Dalata Hotel Group, which operates Clayton and Maldron Hotels and is the largest hotel operator in Ireland, will be supporting the Marie Keating Foundation, as the company’s charity partner in the Republic of Ireland over a three-year period.

The Marie Keating Foundation is focused on raising the awareness of cancer, and the importance of early detection. The Foundation also provides a range of support services for patients at every step of a cancer journey.

Together, Dalata Hotel Group and Marie Keating Foundation will strive to deliver ‘Dalata’s Drive to Defeat Cancer’. This will involve fundraising to support Marie Keating’s mobile information units to go nationwide and facilitate over 100,000 individual conversations between nurses and members of the public on spotting the signs of cancer. The co-branded mobile units will also visit Dalata hotels across Ireland, with the local community invited to come along, helping save lives.
