Irish dealmakers expect a strong “tailwind” for merger and acquisition (M&A) activity in 2026—provided the geopolitical environment stabilises—according to our new M&A Outlook report. We launched the KPMG 𝐌&𝐀 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 2026 yesterday, bringing together senior M&A leaders, C‑suite executives and finance professionals for a lively morning of insights and networking. Hosted by Mark Collins, the event featured a fireside chat where David O'Kelly spoke with Dermot Crowley, CEO of Dalata Hotel Group, about his career journey, M&A experience and the Dalata growth story. A sincere thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to this year’s survey.   Download the full report here https://lnkd.in/damJBUm6
