Causeway Golf Resort Businessman Dies
A Northern Ireland businessman who was behind a £100m project to build a hotel and golf resort on the Causeway coast in Antrim has died.
Dr Alistair Hanna, who was born in Belfast, was a prominent figure behind the plans to build Bushmills Dunes golf course and hotel. He passed away today following a four-year battle with cancer.
West Belfast SDLP MLA Alex Attwood said: "I met Dr. Hanna and his wife only once, two years ago at the Irish Open at Royal Portrush. His commitment to Northern Ireland, to its people and potential, and to the Bushmills Dunes project, was clear, strong and conveyed in a gentle and - as his wife has said - warm manner.
"I hope that the complex will be soon commenced and constructed - a testament to his vision and his efforts, year in and year out. On behalf of myself and the SDLP, I extend condolences to his wife, Nancy, daughter Anne and extended family."
