The Skellig Star Hotel in Caherciveen, Co Kerry, which was turned into a direct provision centre during the early part of the Covid-19 pandemic, has been fined for not having a licence to sell spirits when customs and excise officials visited the hotel premises in April 2019.
Summonses were issued in 2019 at the suit of the Revenue Commissioners against the company, Skellig Hotel Experience Ltd, of Wentworth Place, Wicklow Town, Co Wicklow, and against the licensee, Jude Kirk, of Slea Head Cottage, Glenfahan, Co Kerry.
