Adventure park plan for Bunratty Castle land-bank

PLANS for a multi-million euro themed adventure park beside Bunratty Castle and Folk Park are being pursued by Shannon Development.

The regional development agency is seeking expressions of interest from third parties to develop a major tourism development on a 120-acre land-bank at Bunratty that would boost tourism revenues in the mid-west.

The agency claims the proposal would complement Bunratty Castle and Folk Park, that occupies less than a third of the lands that will accommodate the new tourist attraction.
