typically people who DO pay their taxes will have to foot the large legal bill when the likes of you and Salafia yet again lose your court challenges to these decisions
Better we pay that bill than the price we may pay due to you and your ilks’ short-sighted self-interest.

there would be a lot of work in making anything of the castle, and very deep pockets would be required.
i remember many years ago staying overnight in the car park in our camper, and the kids having a good run around what must be a dangerous site. in the middle of the night my wife woke up to see a mass of lights closing in on us through the trees, and woke me. i armed myself with the handle of an old hammer, all i could find, but the lights passed us by. we realised that the pub in the vilage had just chucked out and the people from the nearby camp site where making their way home. those scary few minutes have stuck in my mind ever since.
does anyone know how the house came t be a wreck?
The house burnt down at the turn of the (20th) century, it was rebuilt using reinforced concrete around the same time. Unfortunately it was later abandoned (1940’s I think) and the contents were stripped and sold off. The story goes that the Lord Carbery of the time shot the eyes out of his father’s portrait, locked the doors and never returned. The Evans-Frekes are currently renovating the castle, deep pockets required indeed.

[…]Pointing out that the traditional Irish housing pattern based on the townland (baile fearann) stretching back thousands of years which is uniquely different from England and mainland Europe, has become almost entirely dominated by an English planning philosophy, the spokesman said that the IRDA are determined to see control of planning policy brought back to elected Irish politicians.Until recently, Town Planners educated in Ireland graduated without any rural qualification. Available journals and planning literature are predominately English. Most graduates are accredited by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) in London. In addition, many Irish planners received their education in colleges in England.
[…]Anyone for the IRDA Liam Lawlor Memorial Institute of Irish Planning? Application forms available here.

wow, thats a cynical answer! i work beside it..
Not cynical at all. Cynical is creating said “glorified industrial estate” in the middle of nowhere with little or no public transport, bugger all in the way of services and calling it “Ireland’s world class business campus.”
