Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

Trim Castle is a National Monument in the care of the Office of Public Works and as such is part of a regular maintenance program. Specifically, in the past 18 months, the OPW have introduced an oak structural support to a cracked lintel that was located on the public tour route within the keep of Trim Castle. There has been an upkeep of general maintenance on the site at all times.

There are no plans for any urgent refurbish works going forward. Any minor repairs will be addressed as required.
