Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2003 / November 25 2003: Fingal Council rejects €7bn Vega City plan

Fingal County Council last night voted to reject plans for a €7 billion theme park in north Dublin which councillors described as "vague" and "sloppy". The consortium behind the proposals said it would now examine the possibility of building the theme park in Britain instead. An overwhelming majority of councillors - 19 to one - accepted advice from planning officials that the plans were unacceptable. The County Manager, Mr Willie Soffe, said the plans lacked detail, credibility, were unsustainable for the area and violated existing planning guidelines.
