Castletown House, the large public land around Celbridge and Leixlip, is still caught in a battle between the locals and the OPW.

There has been a long running stand-off at the heritage site in Co Kildare.

Locals have maintained a presence at the entrance to Castletown House since September 2023, which had resulted in the majority of OPW staff not accessing the site.

The protests began after an entrance and car park near the M4 was closed to the public and to OPW staff by the private owner of the land.

So, will a resolution be reached?

Andrea is joined by local Soc Dems Councillor Claire O’Rourke, as well as local listeners, to discuss.
