Lissadell owner may not wait for public-private bid

The Irish Times

Sir Josslyn Gore-Booth has said he hopes to sell Lissadell House, Co Sligo by the end of the summer, whether or not the State has secured a public-private partnership to buy it. Sir Josslyn, the owner of the childhood home of Countess Markievicz and her poet sister Eva Gore-Booth, last night confirmed that he was considering "several offers and expressions of interest" from private bidders.
