Kelly’s Resort Hotel & Spa, in Rosslare, has cemented its reputation over generations as one of the premier spots in the country for an all-in family holiday.

One of Ireland’s best known developers, Sean Mulryan, last year shared a pay pot of €342,236 with one other director in spite of mounting losses at a number of his Irish-based building firms.

The British arm of Seán Mulryan’s Ballymore Developments returned to profit last year to record pre-tax profits of £4.3m (€5.14m).

Pre-tax losses at a UK arm of Sean Mulryan’s Ballymore group last year topped £372m (€457m).
