Episode description

A €500,000 vandalism incident, months of protests, and a stately home at the centre of a controversy that drags on and on. Castletown House in Celbridge, Co Kildare has become the focus of a bitter dispute over land ownership and access to public heritage. A key entrance was closed after part of the estate was sold to a private developer, sparking a stand-off between the OPW, the landowners, and local campaigners. Our reporter Andrew Walsh joins us to examine what exactly is happening at the site, what developers are asking for, and what the possible solution might be.
