Show will go on at Ashford

IT will be “business as normal” at the five-star Ashford Castle Hotel, receivers appointed to the leading European hotel said yesterday.

The joint receivers from Ernst and Young intend that the hotel in Cong, Co Mayo, continues to trade as a going concern for the “foreseeable future.”

Ernst and Young said the appointment of the receivers was to ensure that the plush hotel continued to operate without any interruption to guests, staff and suppliers.
