Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2004 / January 05 2004: Development at hotel breaches planning laws

Substantial works have been carried out on a €50 million convention centre at the Citywest Hotel complex in Co Dublin despite the fact that its planning permission is under appeal by An Taisce. The convention centre, which would seat nearly 6,000 people, is being built by Mr Jim Mansfield, the property tycoon who developed the Citywest Hotel and Leisure Centre in Saggart largely on foot of retrospective permissions. The existing complex already includes a hotel with more than 400 bedrooms, two 18-hole golf courses and conference facilities with seating for 4,000 - used both by Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael for their ardfheiseanna.
