The owners of the five-star Lough Erne Resort last night said they “extremely disappointed” at the European Tour’s decision not to host the 2017 Irish Open at the Fermanagh resort.

The luxury Fermanagh hotel which hosted the most peaceful G8 in history could be sold by the end of the summer, it was revealed today.

President Obama is in Fermanagh for the G8 summit this Monday, offering the Lough Erne Resort a priceless moment in the spotlight, writes Pól Ó Conghaile.
