Portmarnock resort to be expanded

THE Portmarnock golf and hotel resort in Dublin is to undergo a multi-million euro expansion.

The plush hotel, which includes Tony and Chryss O’Reilly among its shareholders, has lodged a planning application with Fingal County Council to knock down parts of the existing buildings to make way for the expansion.

According to the planning application the hotel will get a new four-storey wing for 39 new bedroom and luxury suites plus two upmarket penthouses.
