The new owner of the West County Hotel in Ennis has said the future of 115 jobs there is secure.
Patrick Treacy – who’s family run hotels Waterford and Enniscorthy – has just taken up the role of managing director of the well-known Clare Hotel which was formerly operated by the Lynch Hotel group before it went into receivership.
A reported price tag of two million euro was paid for the West County which has been in operation in Ennis since 1968, and the new owner plans significant investment including upgrading the hotel’s 152 bedrooms and conference facilities.
Patrick Treacy told Clare FM he’s confident about the future of the hotel and plans to maintain current staff levels
