‘High interest’ in sale of golf resort

The general manager of the five-star Doonbeg golf resort said yesterday that he has already received six enquiries in a 48-hour period from overseas investors looking to buy the resort.

Joe Russell was speaking two days after Luke Charleton and David Hughes of EY were appointed as receivers to the resort.

Mr Russell said: “Those who have expressed an interest in the business so far — I like what I am hearing... I know some of these people and businesses who have expressed an interest already.”
