In a report in Tuesday’s edition about the appointment of a receiver to the Killeshin Hotel in Portloaise it was stated that Mr Jerry O’Reilly was a director of a company connected with the hotel, Killeshin Hotel Ltd.

We would like to clarify that Mr O’Reilly has had no connection with the Killeshin Hotel since 1995 when Killeshin Hotel Ltd sold the hotel to a third party.

Mr O’Reilly has no connection whatsoever with the company Killeshin Properties Limited now in receivership.
