Edit: RTÉ are calling it a National Park, as have the Department Responsible (as part of a wider Brú na Boinne national park it seems)
Sounds like a diversion to not spend big on the Conor Pass.
what about de homeless…
Good, we should have more and compulsory buy ridiculous private entities like Conors pass, Ireland’s Eye or Carrauntoohil.
Great to see vision being applied to securing this but let’s hope value for money was achieved too. Wheeling out my own hobby horse I would love to see public gardens developed at all suitable OPW sites. If you look at the attraction of places like Sissinghurst and Great Dixter and Wisley there is an open goal for both ecology, employment training and tourism. Yes I like Park Life too.

Good, we should be growing our national parks, and creating new ones.
I’d be a bit sceptical about the idea of it as a National Park as opposed to a site managed by the OPW, given that 500 acres (approx 2km^2) would make it the [smallest national park by a wide margin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_parks_of_the_Republic_of_Ireland). Also, it’s not [a natural landscape](https://www.npws.ie/national-parks)?
