Agreement in principle has been reached between Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Council management and Castlethorn/Aeval on the terms of an agreement for a transfer of lands at Shanganagh involving Castlethorn/Aeval, the Council and Woodbrook Golf Club under which Shanganagh Castle, the former Juvenile Detention Centre and surrounding lands would come into Council ownership. The terms of this agreement would be subject to approval by the Council.

At that stage Castlethorn/Aeval undertook to seek the approval of their banks to the proposed agreement. They have been asked to provide an update on the current position.
