"James Dyson, billionaire inventor and innovator, recently acquired a brand-new property for his international portfolio - the 850-acre Ballynatray House in Co Waterford. The purchase reportedly ran north of €30m, with some pricey alterations to come as Dyson looks to restore the residence to its former 18th century splendour. The 78-year-old has already encountered some local opposition, with plans for an on-site helipad prompting an appeal to An Coimisiún Pleanála last summer. Dyson also owns major properties in the UK, France, Singapore,"
"Though usually a private individual who prefers to talk business, he has made some notable headlines over the years, including for his staunch support of Brexit. So, what are his plans for his new Irish stately home? And just how magnificent is this mansion? Ralph Riegel, Southern Correspondent with the Irish Independent, joins Fionnán Sheahan on The Indo Daily to discuss."
James Dyson bought the 850-acre Ballynatray House in County Waterford for reportedly more than €30 million. He plans to restore the Georgian-era residence to its former 18th-century splendour, undertaking costly alterations. Proposed changes include an on-site helipad, which provoked local opposition and an appeal to An Coimisiún Pleanála last summer. The 78-year-old already owns major properties in the UK, France, Singapore and the Caribbean. He is typically private and business-focused but has drawn public attention in the past for political stances such as support for Brexit. Local planning outcomes will shape the restoration's scope, timeline, and expenses.
