I refer to the reply to Question No. 278 of 9 February 2005. Donadea Castle and its associated buildings are an integral part of Donadea Forest Park, which is in the ownership of Coillte Teoranta. Any development proposals in respect of the property would be a matter, in the first instance, for that organisation. My Department is not aware of any plans regarding the future restoration of the castle.
