Niall Quinn overpaid council €100k

A council has admitted that it erred in over-charging former Irish soccer legend Niall Quinn over €100,000 in his plan to expand his Naas hotel.

In August 2014, Quinn joined up with Kilcullen Bakery to purchase Lawlor’s Hotel in Naas from examinership by making available €2.24m to fund a financial recovery for the hotel firm, Marchford Ltd.

The move by Quinn safeguarded the jobs at the hotel where 86 are currently employed.
