Dunboy Castle on the Beara Peninsula in Co. Cork was the home of the Puxleys – owners of the copper mines at Allihies.
There was a Celtic Tiger era project to convert the ruined building into a luxury hotel, but this obviously died along with that era.
The Irish Examiner reports that the castle has been sold again and plans to complete the re-development and open the venue as an 84 bed hotel are proposed.
