'Not possible' to give reopening date for historic Cork landmark

Barryscourt Castle, Carrigtwohill, Co Cork, has been closed to the public for five years.

A reopening date must be established for one of East Cork's most historic landmarks after languishing in the midst of safety works for five years.

That is according to Cork East TD Séan Sherlock, who said Barryscourt Castle in Carrigtwohill has to be a priority for the Government body in charge of the facility, the Office of Public Works (OPW).
