Supermac’s owner plans €1m hotel upgrade of Charleville Hotel

The founder of fast-food chain Supermac’s has bought the Charleville Park Hotel in North Cork with a view to a €1m upgrade.

Pat McDonagh bought the hotel in a move which, he said, would safeguard more than 100 jobs in the town.

It becomes the third hotel to have been bought by the businessman in recent times, following the purchase of the Castletroy Park Hotel in Limerick and the Lough Rea Hotel and Spa in Co Galway.
