It has been confirmed that Kildare County Council are now in ownership of St David's Castle in Naas.
According to the council, the next step for the castle is a feasibility study to determine the most beneficial uses of the site, with procurement of a suitable consultant in Q3 of 2026.
The move comes nearly two decades after the council declined to purchase the property from the family of its last full-time resident, the late County Surgeon Dr Jack Gibson.
