BREAKING: Three Arrested After €400,000 Damage At Castletown House OPW Site

The individuals arrested include one man in his 30s and two juveniles.

Gardaí have arrested three individuals in connection with a spate of criminal damage incidents that caused an estimated €400,000 worth of damage at a site used by the Office of Public Works (OPW) to access Castletown House in Celbridge.

The arrests were made this morning during a series of searches at residential properties.

The individuals arrested include one man in his 30s and two juveniles. 

Gardaí say the arrests relate to several separate incidents of criminal damage that occurred between April 22 and May 4, 2025.

All three are currently being held at Garda stations within the Kildare Division under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984.

During the May Bank Holiday weekend, four vehicles were overturned, a teleporter was driven into a river, and the wires on four CCTV units were cut on the grounds of Donaghcumper House.

About a week earlier an arson incident took place at Donaghcumper House.

The incident occurred sometime between 4:20 p.m. on Wednesday, April 23, and 7:15 a.m. on Thursday, April 24. 

During that incident, a toilet, several road bollards, and a welfare unit on the premises were set alight, resulting in an estimated €3,400 worth of damage.
