Appeal over plans to extend Dingle Skellig Hotel

Plans for a major redevelopment and extension of the four-star Dingle Skellig Hotel are being appealed to An Bord Pleanála.

Objections centre around what effect a four-storey high extension will have on sea views along the main approach to the West Kerry town. Nowhere on the peninsula does a building reach four storeys, according to two appellants.

The plans got the go-ahead from Kerry County Council in recent weeks.
