The Save Castletown Committee will head back to the High Court on July 29th.
The group initiated court proceedings today to restore public access to the historic Castletown House lands in Celbridge.
The full hearing is considered to have been expedited, with a source expressing some level of optimism following today's outcome.
The case came against the backdrop of back-to-back meetings between local groups, stakeholders and OPW Minister Kevin Boxer Moran.
Social Democrats TD Aidan Farrelly said it's "shameful" that the burden has fallen to a voluntary group of residents and heritage advocates.
He has welcomed the committee’s move but questioned why such action was left to a community group rather than the relevant State authorities.
Among the outcomes from today's meetings with OPW Minister Kevin Boxer Moran, the Office of Public Works (OPW) has committed to replacing cars being walked up the estate by workers with a specialised buggy service operating at 10km/h.
It's understood that Minister Kevin Boxer Moran said he could not justify the €10,000 per week cost of staff associated with previous measures.
A phased approach to managing the site was outlined.
It includes a short-term plan to reopen Castletown House with access limited to only five essential vehicles per day.
The medium-term plan is to develop a car park at the Kildare Innovation Campus.
