Castletown House and its demesne receive about 1 million visitors per year. Most visit the demesne. As the Tánaiste knows, the State was not successful in purchasing the land adjoining the house, where the only viable vehicle access is located. The historic village access is not viable, according to the OPW, and there appears to be an unwilling seller. I understand a CPO involves a long process; however, if it is a question of Kildare County Council entering a CPO process, will it have the backing of the State, including financially, in doing so?
