Boatyard eyesore may be converted into cultural centre

THE disused site of an old boatyard in Dingle could yet be converted into a thing of beauty.

Now an eyesore in the heart of the town, the boatyard may be compulsorily purchased by Kerry County Council and developed as an amenity.

The council has already demolished the boatyard and has placed a wooden fence around it for safety reasons. A compulsory purchase order can now be issued under derelicts sites legislation.
