Welcome to the CIS Newsletter Dear Sir/Madam, Welcome to our latest Newsletter! In this edition we look at the Hotels sector and focus on the volume of projects that have been submitted for approval since the beginning of this year. We also illustrate the volume of new hotel schemes approved planning permission so far in 2011. In our 5 Free projects section I am pleased to provide you with examples of Hotel works that are currently planned, on-site or commencing imminently. This week our guest contributor is Mr. Ciarán O'Connell who in his article provides an insight into the importance of Security Certified Doors in all future and current building projects.
