Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

I want to bring to the attention of An Tánaiste the importance of the issue of Castletown House, Celbridge, County Kildare, where the Office of Public Works, OPW, which is the owner of Castletown House and 230 acres or so of land, has been denied access by virtue of the actions of an adjoining landowner who is now the owner of the right of way. Neither the public nor the OPW will have a right of access unless immediate action is taken at whatever level possible, either through Kildare County Council separately or with the support of the OPW, to ensure access is restored without delay.
