Teagasc to redevelop Johnstown Castle

Teagasc, owners of the castle on behalf of the State, is partnering with the Irish Heritage Trust and the Irish Agricultural Museum, to undertake the conservation work, and to develop the heritage and tourism potential of the castle and gardens for the south-east region.

Teagasc is working closely with Failte Ireland so that this investment compliments its recently launched Ireland Ancient East tourism strategy.
