The Mount Murray Hotel and Country Club complex has been ravaged by fire this morning in an incident which required a presence from every one of the Island’s emergency response vehicles.
The constabulary has confirmed that all guests and hotel staff are accounted for, with only one minor injury to report.The road leading to the hotel is closed with some allowances on the back road for residents of the surrounding estate.
We spoke to an eye witness whose account may shed some light onto what started the blaze:
TT food van needed for trackside car park
Northern roadworks to hinge on Mountain Road reopening
Beer festival to return this week
Dublin to sign friendship agreement with Douglas in summer
Total of 35 properties on council's dilapidated list
Equipment being sold off from popular former bar
