I find this incredibly fascinating, Alan, and wish you much success in the
restoration of a historical site! It would be great if you could show us
"before", "during" and "after" pictures -- perhaps on a
website?

BTW, I contacted and then visited the Northern Ireland government
department
in whose custody the castle now resides and secured an agreement to
begin
restoring the castle. I then met with local business people in Belleek to
secure an agreement as to how it would be done and only for the benefit of
the local area.
Considerable funds have been designated and I secured an agreement from
the
N.I. officials for the aid of the forestry people for assistance.
I also was given old photos and a copy of the original floor plan. It was
a
lovely castle and hopefully will be again.
