A scheme of conservation and structural consolidation works has been carried out at Carrigafoyle Castle. This cost €850,000, which was spent over the period 2001 to 2005. These works have facilitated safe public access and enhanced the visitor experience. Further restoration of the castle is not envisaged at this stage.
