I just received the Revenue Section 482 list for 2024! Very exciting! I am sad to see, however, that there are no additions to last year, so far.

What changes have we this year, from last year?

I see that Lorum Rectory in County Carlow has dropped off the list. It is still open for accommodation, as far as I know, see their website https://lorum.com/

In County Cork, Fenns Quay, 4 & 5 Sheares Street, Cork City has been removed. I didn’t have time to visit it before it was removed from the listing.

Oranmore Castle has dropped off the list in County Galway.

Creamery House, Castlecomer, Co Kilkenny is no longer listed, though the website tells us a restaurant is coming soon, https://www.creameryhouse.com

In County Meath, Slane Castle is no longer listed, and neither is the Former Parochial House in Slane. You may be able to book a tour for Slane Castle, but they have only selective open days for tours, see the website, https://www.slanecastle.ie/about/opening-hours

Corolanty in County Offaly has dropped off the list this year. I didn’t get to visit Castletown Manor, Cottlestown, Co. Sligo, unfortunately, before it dropped off the list.

I’m not surprised that Ballynatray gardens in County Waterford is no longer listed. You can probably still book a cottage for accommodation in the lovely surroundings, but their website seems to have been taken down.

There is still plenty to see!

I made a tentative schedule for myself last December, but since we have been busy preparing a property to sell, and looking to buy something small in the countryside, I have not had time to visit any Section 482 properties yet this year. I still have a few places to write about that we have visited, so more posts soon!

Happy visiting!
