The Office of Public Works has on my behalf recently completed a major programme of conservation works at Carrigafoyle Castle, Ballylongford, County Kerry, and the future stability of the castle has been secured.

I understand that the OPW is scheduled to undertake some minor presentation works in the coming weeks and that the site will be accessible to members of the public before the end of June. There are no plans for further works at this site and the future maintenance and conservation of the castle will be managed by the OPW.
