Taoiseach to perform reopening of Lissadell House following closure in €10m legal battle

The Taoiseach will formally reopen Lissadell House as a tourism attraction on Friday, following its four-year closure during a marathon €10m legal battle.

Enda Kenny agreed only 10 days ago to reopen Lissadell when owners Eddie Walsh and his wife Constance Cassidy finally made a decision to return to the house in Co Sligo.

High on the agenda is a renewal of the international concerts that saw Leonard Cohen and Westlife play in front of thousands in 2010.
