€6m expansion of Limerick hotel to create 150 jobs

A €6 million expansion of the four-star Castletroy Park Hotel in Limerick will increase the number of rooms and suites to nearly 160 and add a state of the art fitness and leisure facility and facilities for corporates.

The hotel, which caters for the Munster rugby team based at the nearby University of Limerick (UL), was bought six years ago by Galway businessman Pat McDonagh.

Mr McDonagh said: “The Limerick region is now a business hot spot and the physical infrastructure abound the city is changing dramatically. There is a significant motorway network feeding the into the city plus the international airport at Shannon [is] on our doorstep.”
