Businesses picket hotel in row over €3.2m bill

BUSINESSES yesterday picketed a Wexford hotel protesting over the €3.2 million they say they are owed by the owners since work was completed more than two years ago.

The 60 subcontractors and suppliers were involved in the redevelopment of Whites Hotel in Wexford for the owners, Balmaford — a company run by three men.

“The debt has been outstanding since the hotel was complete and open for business in August 2006,” said a spokeswoman for the protesters.
