QUESTION NO. 19

QUESTION: Councillor Shane Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive if there are plans for the use of the Grange Castle for public events or to welcome tourists as soon as Covid restrictions lift, and if there is extra work required to facilitate this (litter bins, benches etc).

REPLY:

Grange Castle Business Park is a strategic Business Park for investment from foreign and indigenous projects of scale and is managed by Grange Castle Facilities Management Ltd.. The main objective of the works on and in the vicinity of the castle was for the preservation of the fabric of the castle and for its site features to be repaired, also to enhance the public realm of the Park, while retaining the integrity and architectural, historical and archaeological significance. The works serve as an enhancement for the business park and for park visitors to enjoy the heritage of the castle and surrounds and will feature in the calendar of events for Heritage Week. No additional works such as provision of litter bins or benches is intended.
