Callely may have to scrap garage conversion

FORMER Junior Minister Ivor Callely could be forced to scrap guest accommodation he built at his holiday home if he loses an appeal to An Bord Pleanála.

Cork County Council has refused him retention for change of use of his detached garage to guest accommodation at his luxury holiday home at Kilcrohane, on the Sheep’s Head peninsula.

A spokeswoman for the local authority last night confirmed that if Mr Callely appeals the decision and loses, “enforcement proceedings are available” as an option.
