Flatley invited to talks on restoration planning row

MICHAEL FLATLEY has been invited to talks with a county manager about his €30 million refurbishment of a stately home, amid fears he could drop the project after having some of the work turned down.

Cork county manager Maurice Moloney said yesterday he would be delighted to speak with the multi-millionaire about any alterations he wanted to make to Castlehyde House.

The council refused permission for retention of a gym and two decorative ponds which the star had built at his home near Fermoy.
