Severe winter weather that stranded holiday travelers in Europe caught Bono and The Edge of U2 without a place to stay. That was solved when Dromoland Castle arranged to staff the luxury hotel so the U2 singer and guitarist would have a place to stay. The band's flight from Australia was diverted to Shannon due to the extreme weather that gripped much of western Europe. While the hotel was closed so staff members could enjoy the holiday with family members, the manager found no shortage of employees willing to come in to provide services for the U2 entourage. The hotel head's wife even saw to it that Bono & company were well fed during the unscheduled stop over.
