Lands which included Castlemoate House were acquired in 1975 by the then Minister under the Air Navigation and Transport (Compulsory Acquisition of Land) Order 1974 to cater for the future development of Dublin Airport.

Under section 14 of the Air Navigation and Transport (Amendment) Act 1998, lands and property at Dublin Airport, including Castlemoate House, which had been vested in the Minister, were vested in the former Aer Rianta and responsibility for same now rests with the Dublin Airport Authority.
