Holiday heartbreak as caravan park closes

THE summer holiday plans of hundreds of families were in tatters yesterday following confirmation that a popular caravan park is to be sold after a long-running planning saga.

Management at Power’s Caravan Park in Duffcarrick, Ardmore, Co Waterford, confirmed yesterday they are putting their park on the market tomorrow, with a €7 million price tag, following a decision from An Bord Pleanála.

Owners Thomas and John Power said the park was no longer financially viable and they had no other option but to close.
