On the 5th of March this year, Senator Daly witnessed Minister for State for the OPW, Martin Mansergh, signing an order to open Ross Castle. Ross Castle was the only OPW site to open before St. Patrick’s Day, opening four weeks ahead of all other OPW sites in Ireland.
Senator Daly welcomed the decision which came following numerous representations, and a visit to Tipperary on Sunday the 25th of January to meet the Minister. He stated “Given Killarney and Kerry’s status as the premium centres for tourism in Ireland, I welcome the opening of Ross castle in the coming days”.
Senator Daly thanked the Killarney Chamber of Commerce, hoteliers and other tourism bodies for giving him help and assistance in providing him with information that allowed him to put a strong and compelling case for the reopening of Ross Castle. Jerry O’Grady of Killarney Chamber Executive thanked Senator Daly in kind, with the words “we have little doubt that without the strong sustained representations made by Senator Daly on our behalf, we may not have succeeded. “ |
