Chinese businessman 'to realise dream' for Fota resort after winning ownership row

Yuzhu Kang said 'although late, justice had been done' after the four-year legal battle concluded

The settlement now effectively means that Yuzhu Kang is the owner of the Fota Island Resort.

A Chinese businessman has won his long-running High Court battle for the ownership of the luxury Fota Island Resort in Co Cork.

And as Yuzhu Kang takes over at the helm of the five-star resort and spa, he told the Irish Examiner he intends “to realise my dream for Fota that I had when I first purchased it in 2013.” Speaking through an interpreter he said he now intends to continue with Fota Island Resort and make it a leading centre for cultural activities and carry on the business in his mother’s name.
