No date for reopening Barryscourt Castle six years after works commenced

The castle in Carrigtwohill remains closed for the foreseeable future, despite works beginning in 2016, the Office of Public Works confirmed

The Office of Public Works (OPW) has admitted it still cannot give a date for when one of Cork's most recognisable heritage sites will be reopened to the public, six years after work started to make it safe.

Barryscourt Castle in Carrigtwohill remains closed for the foreseeable future, despite works beginning in 2016, the OPW confirmed, following questions from East Cork TDs Sean Sherlock and David Stanton.
