ASHFORD CASTLE RIGHT OF WAY RAISED IN HIGH COURT

Date Published: 03-Dec-2011

An action involving access to Ashford Castle estate in Cong was considered by a judge in the High Court yesterday [Dec 2].

The hotel, owned by Galway company Edward Holdings, of which Gerry Barrett is a director, went into receivership this week.

The Irish Times reports that the owner of nearby Ashford Equestrian Centre, claims his business has been damaged due to the closure of a gate to the estate.

Timothy Clesham of Caherduff, The Neale, County Mayo, has brought proceedings against the owners of the estate and has sought certain injunctions pending the full hearing of the case.
