Plans to extend luxurious Cashel Palace Hotel fail to get council support

Tipperary's most famous landmark, The Rock of Cashel .

Tipperary County Council has refused to back plans by the owners of the luxurious Cashel Palace Hotel for an extension close to the historic Rock of Cashel site.

The council said it is “not satisfied” that the proposed development of the 5-star hotel would not “adversely impact” the cultural heritage landscape.
