Service station plan stopped in its tracks by Dromoland Castle

The five-star Dromoland Castle has stopped plans by Applegreen to extend its national network of motorway service areas into Clare.

Clare County Council has refused Applegreen planning permission to construct a motorway service stop on the Limerick-Ennis motorway, in close proximity to the castle.

Dromoland Castle Holdings Ltd had made a strident objection to the development.
