These works include replacing the downpipes and roof repairs, ensuring we stay standing for another 800 years.

DON'T PANIC!!!

If you've seen the scaffolding at Enniscorthy Castle and are concerned that the Castle is about to fall down – don't worry! We are reliably informed that it's to do with making the roof watertight plus some additional work on guttering and downpipes.
