Episode Details

Dunguaire Castle, a beloved tourist gem in Kinvara, has been abandoned and decaying for three years due to a stalled funding battle — a national embarrassment as visitors flock to find it shuttered. Once managed by the Shannon Airport Group, its transfer to Galway County Council stalled without government backing, leaving the castle vulnerable to nature’s damage and soaring restoration costs. But there’s a flicker of hope: the Office of Public Works has confirmed they’ll manage it if it becomes state-owned — a major step forward. Still, campaigners are pushing for concrete action, launching SaveKinvaraCastle.com and a new film to demand a public reopening timeline. They’re urging everyone to keep emailing officials — because talks aren’t enough.
