A LEADING hotelier and Fianna Fáil councillor tried to win the support of fellow councillors for the rezoning of his family property, according to the Standards in Public Office Commission, which described the incident as a “serious matter”.

A TOP hotelier last night denied he had done anything wrong, after a decision by the Standards in Public Office Commission to refer a report to the DPP arising from a probe into a zoning controversy concerning his family’s property.

THE multi-million euro Gleneagle Hotel complex, in Killarney, is to be rezoned in a compromise agreed by Killarney Town Council.
