Council rejects €7bn Vega City project

THE promoters of the Vega City theme park planned for North Dublin will seek to locate it abroad.

The €7 billion proposal was rejected by a decisive majority of Fingal councillors last night as unacceptable in its present form.

In the wake of the decision, the backers, Universal Entertainment Partners (UEP), expressed disappointment at the outcome. UEP chairman, Cork developer Owen O'Callaghan, said the company would not look at other locations in Europe.
