A €5 MILLION investment in the restoration of Killarney House and gardens will be announced today by Minister for Tourism and Sport Leo Varadkar.
Minister for Arts Jimmy Deenihan will also be present in Killarney for the announcement.
Local Fine Gael Senator Paul Coghlan, who has campaigned for the project, said: “Killarney House and gardens is in immediate proximity in the town, yet is within the confines of the national park. It could become the golden gateway to Killarney National Park, our foremost national park. It can be a beautiful civic space and amenity and can become the St Stephen’s Green of Killarney,” he said. “The restoration of that property . . . would be a fitting tribute to the former owners, John McShane and his family.”
