| Message | Found the site last year or so and got my wife your book, a lovely production by the way! I love castles and to a lesser extent great houses, I wonder could people be brought together to purchase and renovate them, my idea was that extended families be approached, for examples Carrolls around the globe sponsor the restoration of the Carroll strongholds, the O'Connors the O'Connor ones etc, they then are held in trust and let to sponsors at a reduced rate. The Irish landmark trust do great work but w need something bigger - the Parador's in Spain come to mind! The potential for jobs in these renovations is huge as it the potetnuial tourist drawing power... |
