Lo Stato acquisterà il terreno intorno a Castletown House e ripristinerà l’accesso

Can someone ELI5 here?

In 2023, lands were sold (by whom, to whom?) such that they became private lands and cut off access?

Then, new access routes were proposed but a local group decided to almost literally gatekeept access? Then, over the summer, half a million euros worth of damage was done (by whom?) to OPW property? Was anyone prosecuted?

Now, land worth €11m+ is being bought by the State? Is this the same land sold in 2023? Who is selling the land and getting €11m of taxpayers’ money?

Excellent news.

Should never have come to this, but here we are.

Lovely result. Seeing the vitriol thrown at the people who organised the SC campaign was pretty pathetic and low so i hope those same people will do a bit of reflection now. Literally wouldnt have gotten this result had they not organised.
