This study was undertaken on behalf of a Steering Group comprising representatives of the County Councils of Fingal, Kildare, South Dublin, Dublin City Council and the Office of Public Works. It is a matter for each public body to consider making progress from within its own resources.

The Office of Public Works is undertaking a major improvement scheme at Castletown House and Park, including the restoration of the original eighteenth century garden features such as the lake and cascade. One of the main elements in this will be the development of the OPW managed grounds at Castletown together with the adjoining lands owned by Kildare County Council and Coillte into an integrated public parkland area with linked pathways across the river and through the woods.
