    Dont be overtaxing yourself now there! ;)
    What will it mean if he buys it anyway? Has he a history of running hotels as well or do you reckon this is a new direction?

    Also owns Ryder Cup venue The Belfry as well as other Golf/Hotel resorts ....I guess he's adding Castle Dargan to his golf resort portfolio..... no bad thing for Sligo Inc. if it's true.

    And Woods/half of Castle Street.


    Edit: I think we have the wrong Quinn here.

    The man in question. I suprised anyone doesn't know who he is. His trucks are everywhere (green and white), he bought out BUPA in Ireland, one of the biggest insurers in the country (Quinn Direct) and is worth almost five billion euro. Castle Street/Woods is owned by the people who own Toffs.

    I wouldn't think thats true he recently sold a few of his hotels and as far as I know he's getting away from hospitality industry.

    The latest venture is into now is energy.

    Will he retain it as a Hotel, that is the question. What is it like out there beside the Castle Dargan? Any other local attractions?, Golf Club etc? Let's see what happens.
