Ethics probe over Killarney rezoning vote

THE political ethics watchdog is to investigate the actions of two councillors linked to a controversial rezoning in Killarney.

The rezoning could have netted millions for the Gleneagle Hotel Group, for which councillors, Patrick O’Donoghue (FF) and Sheila Casey (FG) both work.

But it has yet to be finalised because council management, who opposed the rezoning of the 20-acre site on the periphery of Killarney town, refused to pass it.
