Planning body approves development of Abbeville estate

An Bord Pleanála has given final approval to the development of a tourism and recreational complex at the former estate of the late Charles Haughey in north Co Dublin.

Fingal County Council had already granted permission to Manor Park Homes to build a 70-bedroom hotel, a golf course and clubhouse, a fitness centre, tennis courts and other amenities at the Abbeville estate in Kinsealy.
