Shannon Heritage named operator of Malahide Castle and Gardens

Shannon Heritage has been appointed to operate Malahide Castle and Gardens in County Dublin, Ireland, in the company's first move outside the Shannon region.

It follows an agreement between the operator and Malahide Castle and Gardens - formed by Fingal County Council to oversee a EUR10.5m (£8.2m) investment in the attraction.

Shannon Heritage will be responsible for running the redeveloped castle, including a new museum and interpretation area. It will also operate a visitor centre in the old courtyard.

The refurbished attraction and new visitor facility will open in September. The remainder of Malahide Demesne - such as the parklands - will be controlled by Fingal County Council.

John Ruddle, chief executive of Shannon Heritage, said: "Fingal County Council is doing a superb job in the redevelopment of the castle and we look forward to building on this work."

Shannon Heritage currently operates a number of attractions in Counties Limerick, Clare and Galway - including Bunratty Castle and Folk Park near Limerick.
