Garech de Brún’s Galway gate is finally found

When Guinness heir Garech de Brún died over a year ago, his final will and testament included a “bow gate” bequeathed to the city of Galway. Much focus was then on the future of his 5,000-acre estate at Luggala, Co Wicklow, which is up for sale with a guide price of €28m.

“Garech never mentioned a Galway city gate, and so initially we didn’t know where it was,” Luggala’s project manager Tony Boylan says.
