Mick Wallace (Wexford, Independent) | Oireachtas source

Johnstown Castle is situated very close to my home. It is an absolutely beautiful spot. Am I correct in understanding that it will be reopened to members of the public? It is an awful pity that it has not been open to them for some time. Some years ago I played soccer in the grounds of the castle for Forth Celtic football club from Murrintown.
