Developer offers councillors free passes to Ryder Cup

ONE of the country’s biggest developers has been criticised by some members of South Dublin County Council for offering local politicians free passes to the Ryder Cup.

It emerged yesterday that Mennolly Homes has offered free tickets to this month’s major golf competition between Europe and the US at the K Club to some council members.

The Irish Examiner has also learned that a new planning application by Mennolly Homes for a development in west Dublin is to be lodged shortly.
