The Atlantis Group confirmed today that An Bord Pleanala has upheld a Clare County Council decision to grant planning permission for the development of “park-and-ride" facilities to the Cliffs of Moher.
The developer, which has a strong presence in the West of Ireland Hospitality and Tourism sector, says the project will generate 20 full-time positions when up and running, with a further 20 jobs being created during the construction phase. Work on the development is expected to commence in early 2010 and be completed by next autumn.
The proposed development consists of "park-and-ride" bus services from Liscannor and Coogyulla, Doolin to the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience.
Meanwhile, The Atlantis Group has announced the creation of an additional four full-time jobs, with the scheduled opening of a new pub in the North Clare village of Doolin. The traditional Irish music pub is expected to be opened in advance of the Miko Russel Weekend festival in February 2010.
The Atlantis Group is also scheduled to reopen the famous Ballykilty Manor, near Quin in County Clare, in mid to late 2010. Ballykilty Manor Hotel will be the sixth hotel to be developed by the Group as it continues to strengthen its portfolio in the hotel sector. The company said today that the 5-star development would create 15 jobs during construction and a further 22 full-time and part-time positions when it opens.
Since 2006, the holiday and accommodation body has opened the newly refurbished Peacockes Hotel in Maam Cross, County Galway; Tír Gan Éan House Hotel and Holiday Complex in Doolin, County Clare; the Smerwick Harbour Hotel, near Dingle, County Kerry; the Burren Coast Hotel and Holiday Lodges in Ballyvaughan, County Clare; and the Cliffs of Moher Hotel in Liscannor, County Clare. The new hotels have generated in excess of 235 jobs. The Group is also promoting the famed Joseph McHugh's pub in Liscannor and the AA 5-star Ballyvara House in Doolin.
