Jim Corr
Musician Jim Corr hasn’t given up the option of building a small estate on land he owns in Doolargy in Ravensdale.
The 49-year-old, who achieved worldwide fame with family group The Corrs, had outline planning permission granted in 2010 for 14 detached houses to be built close to the border.
He recently applied to extend that duration with Louth County Council but his application was deemed to be incomplete and therefore invalid. However, he is expected to return with another application shortly.
The guitarist, who still lives locally, invested in property and land during the boom times and last year was forced to settle a €1.4m debt with ACC Bank following a High Court case.
