Home to double in size

A BROTHER of JP McManus, Gerry McManus and his wife Michelle, have been given permission by An Bord Pleanala to demolish sections of the period property Fedamore House in Co Limerick.

The rear portions, including back wall staircase, courtyard and outbuildings, are to be removed and replaced by two new wings which will more than double the size of the house.

Also planned at the 19th century country home is a six car garage, relocation of the entrance gates, a swimming pool and all-weather sports arena for five-a-side soccer.
