Mansfield gets expansion go-ahead

BUSINESSMAN Jim Mansfield has been granted planning permission to expand his Citywest Hotel complex in Dublin.

Mr Mansfield said the €40 million expansion will create one of Ireland’s largest leisure complexes with 1,770 rooms.

“We are delighted that South Dublin County Council has granted permission for the 99 tourist suites. This is a significant investment for Citywest Hotel and we anticipate that it will bring many thousands of additional tourists to Ireland and to the local area.”
