Council ignores executive in hotel zoning decision

A TOP hotel and entertainment complex has been given town centre zoning - even though it is located a mile from the town.

The unprecedented decision has been taken by Killarney Town Council to rezone the 20-acre Gleneagle Hotel complex, despite being strongly advised not to do so by town planner Fiona O’Sullivan.

Gleneagle managing director Patrick O’Donoghue is a Fianna Fáil member of the council. He remained in the chamber while the debate was taking place, but abstained in the vote.
