Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2003 / November 24 2003: Americans deny backing €7 billion Co Dublin theme park

Two American entertainment corporations deny claims by Irish promoters that they are involved in a proposed €7 billion theme park for north Dublin. Owen O'Callaghan, a Cork property developer, said yesterday that six leading entertainment companies are backing the project, including 20th Century Fox and Sony. But two of the companies have denied this. Jim Yeager, head of publicity with Universal, said: "Universal has not had meetings with any representatives of this group and we have no intention of developing any parks in Ireland at this time, or indeed any time."
