Ave Maria University to take up tenancy at regenerated Moore’s Hotel

Some of the Cappoquin Community Development and Ave Maria teams including Aidan Walsh, Dr Ben Murphy, Denis McCarthy, Grainne Moynihan and David Keane of CCDC along with Dr Sam Shepherd, Daniel Schreck Sr, Dan Schreck Jr and Matthew McKenna of Ave Maria University.

Moore’s Hotel in Cappoquin, a recently opened regenerated building, is expected to be home to Ave Maria University from Florida, who are preparing to reopen Mount Melleray Abbey this September as a ‘study abroad’ campus.

The former hotel in Cappoquin was one of a series of former vacant and derelict buildings located in the town centre that were brought back to life supported with a €7.2 million allocation under the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund. 

Buildings regenerated through the fund are to be used for residential accommodation and commercial space.
