Jobs boost as €100m hotel and golf project tees off

A LUXURY €100 million hotel and golf development planned for the outskirts of Clonmel will open in 2008 and create 200 permanent jobs.

The Marlbrook Hotel and Golf Resort will be on a par with world famous courses such as Mount Juliet, Carton House, and the K Club which plays host to the Ryder Cup in September.

The new development, which is being undertaken by Marlfield Property Developments, will boast among its many lavish facilities a 135-bedroom Grade A hotel and an 18 hole championship golf course.
