I have been asked by a reader if I would give an update on the status of the restoration work on Nenagh Castle.
Well Aaron, in answer to your question about whether the castle is presently open to the public, I’m afraid we appear to be a little away from that yet, but the good news is that – according to an article in this week’s Nenagh Guardian – a new timeframe of two years has been given for the opening of Nenagh Castles visitors centre.
New revised plans for the project have been drawn up and a planning application for the Nenagh Castle Project will be lodged with Nenagh Town Council before Christmas and subject to planning approval, work will begin on the site by September 2009.
I’m sure this is welcome news to all the local representatives who has put so much time and effort into the furtherance of the project.

I note from your communication that you are in Ireland at the moment and would like to visit the castle. Well don’t let the fact that it is not yet open to the public deter you from visiting our town. We have lots of beautiful sights and places of interest in Nenagh and its surrounds that I’m sure you would enjoy paying a visit to.
Thank you for your comment and I hope you will enjoy your visit to Ireland and hopefully Nenagh as well.
St Mary's Of The Rosary Church, Nenagh
