Lissadell owners slam ‘whitewash’ report on right-of-way legal costs

The owners of the historic Lissadell estate have launched a furious attack on Sligo County Council which they defeated in a multi-million euro row over a right-of-way.

Eddie Walsh and his wife Constance Cassidy have branded a report on the controversy, to be presented to the council tonight as a “whitewash”.

The €7m bill for the Lissadell legal row is listed to be discussed at tonight’s meeting. It is to be added to the council’s €94m debt.
