15-storey hotel for Sligo gets council's approval

The Irish Times

Developers have been given the go-ahead for a 15-storey hotel at the main entrance to Sligo town, despite objections from residents, business people and environmentalists. Sligo County Council gave permission to Galway-based developers Glenman Corporation to build the 144-bedroom hotel with leisure and conference facilities and 332 parking spaces at Carraroe, two miles from the town centre on the Dublin road. The council laid down a number of conditions, including that the builders pay €500,000 for sewerage, water supply services and footpaths.
