Fire-hit Cork hotel set to be included on derelict sites register

Sunset Ridge Hotel. The owners of sites on the register are liable for the derelict sites levy — 7% of the market value of the site annually.
A former hotel which was targeted in a suspected arson attack is being lined up for inclusion on Cork’s derelict sites register.
Officials in Cork City Council had already identified the former Sunset Ridge Hotel site in Killeens for inspection and consideration as a derelict site well before Wednesday night’s fire.
