Barryscourt Castle Reborn for Tourism

Barryscourt Castle, a historic gem in East Cork since 1392, is set to reopen fully next April after a major €1.75 million renovation funded by the Office of Public Works. Already drawing nearly 23,000 visitors last year, the castle is becoming a key tourism draw. Local TD Pádraig O’Sullivan applauds the visitor numbers but urges the government to capitalize further with events like markets and craft fairs. Minister Jack Chambers confirmed the funding, underscoring the state’s commitment to reviving Ireland’s heritage sites. The focus now? Turning the castle into a vibrant community and tourist hub.
