Theme park consortium seeks council meeting

The consortium behind a proposal to build a €7bn theme park in north Co Dublin says it needs to sit down with Fingal County Council to discuss the project.

United Entertainment Partners wants to develop the Vega City project on a 3,300-acre park in north Dublin.

They say 35 million people would visit annually and it would employ up to 40,000 people.

But Fingal County Council says the project goes against Government policy, and they would need to see details of it.

United Entertainment Partners say that at this stage they are not looking for planning permission or even the right to apply for it.

Spokesman Conor Dempsey says all they are looking for is dialogue.
