Liveline · "At the moment there is no tourism centre there" · 22 Jun 2026 podcast

So, as part of my petition and as part of other campaigners'

encouragements.

There has been encouragements for people in the community to submit their own objections.

I will be submitting mine tomorrow and my own objection has

been helped greatly by many different people in the community and their suggestions on what to include.

I will be dropping that in tomorrow morning along with the printed over 6,360 odd signatures.

The volume of signatures really does show the concern from the local community about what they're trying to do here and just how much this place means to people.

At the moment, there is no centre there.

It is under the OPW, so it is protected in that sense by them, but there's no current tourism centre.

So I really feel that this place

At the moment, it's a wasted opportunity in terms of tourism.

It is a beautiful place and it is intrinsically linked to some of the biggest legends that we have as a country.

When you look at the Irish legends, they're some of the best legends we have and it's not being used at the moment.

I'm saying... Go ahead, sorry.

That's it, exactly.

So when I was a child, I lived in that area and myself and my brothers, we used to actually go across the fields.

At that time, when we left Cox's to make it to the castle, from there over to the castle was completely uninterrupted fields.

Now, in the years in between that,

lots of building has happened there but thankfully up until now there's still a decent amount of beautiful landscapes around in the castle but we used to go on our adventures there my brothers went down into the tunnels there are tunnels underneath the castle and through trains they have been filled in and but even so around the castle there are tunnels they went into them

And as part of the developers' own findings, as part of their archaeological findings on this, they actually found in the area that's going to be built on, 20 sites of interest.
