Cahirciveen eyesore owner apologises to residents

THE owner of a controversial, eyesore building in Caherciveen, Co Kerry, yesterday apologised to local residents and pledged to have it refurbished within 30 days.

Private detective Billy Flynn, who with his wife Eileen have owned the disused Beentee Guesthouse since 1997, also claimed they were victims of vandalism.

“I’ve reported the vandalism to the gardaí and it’s worse than anything I’ve seen even in Dublin in 30 years,” he said.
