Speaking to BusinessLive, Mr Cahill said all of the company's employees have been made redundant.
He added that the firm, which also provided accommodation for business travellers, said the market "did not return" in 2021 as much as it needed to for the company to continue.
Mr Cahill said that while it was "slowly but surely" improving towards the end of the year, it had not returned enough by December.
