This is just one of two projects that Mr O’Malley is currently working on. Work will begin in early 2017 on a new five star hotel located at the site of Bridge House, John Street, Dingle.
Mr O’Malley says 80 construction jobs will be created from April 2017 and when the new hotel is complete, 50 full time positions will be available to the local community.
On the purchase of Glenduff House, Michael commented; “It gives me great pleasure to be able to return home and create opportunities for the local community. I will reside in Glenduff Manor which will become a boutique Manor House with accommodation, quality food and traditional entertainment in the bar.”
