Sales bells ringing for west Cork holiday complex

NEIL JORDAN might have filmed his award-wining mythical movie Ondine starring Colin Farrell in west Cork’s scenic Castletownbere – but not all fairytales come true in CastleDown Dere.

The remarkable re-birth of the area’s Puxley mansion, Dunboy Castle, has hit a funding wall with work stopped on the significantly restored building, back in effect from the grave, but needing a new kiss of life to bring to vitality.

And, now, a suitor is sought for a discounted west Cork holiday complex set up with the wedding trade (fairytale turned reality?) in mind.
