€40m hotel complex to provide 150 new jobs

AT least 150 full-time jobs will be created in a new €40 million hotel development that will transform the centre of Clonmel.

A planning application has been lodged with the local Borough Council for the development of the former Clonmel Arms Hotel site. It will include an 80-bedroom hotel, a multi-storey car park for 500 vehicles, 10 retail units, and 16 two-bedroom apartments.

The planning application has been submitted by Borc Partnership, a group of investors who say their development is a vote of confidence in Clonmel.
