I am advised that the property is privately owned and it is a matter for the owners of the property in the first instance as to whether it should be restored to resemble its original state, although I understand that the structure in question has been a ruin for more than a century.

Fáilte Ireland operates the Tourism Capital Investment Programme, which supports investment in certain categories of visitor attractions, visitor activities and tourism infrastructure. Should the owners of the property wish to do so, they may bring forward proposals to the Product Investment Office of Fáilte Ireland. The administration of the Programme is an operational matter for Fáilte Ireland.
