A hundred jobs on way at Castlemartyr Hotel

Around 100 new jobs are on the way to Co Cork, following this afternoon’s news that the owners of Dromoland Castle are taking over the former six-star Castlemartyr Hotel.

The luxury hotel opened last February, but closed in November because of the financial crisis.

The Board of Dromoland Castle said it had reached an agreement with the owners of the Castlemartyr and would re-open the hotel at the beginning of April.

A recruitment day has been planned at the resort tomorrow.
