Wicklow TD John Brady says he is disappointed that the historic Oldcourt Castle in Bray has once again been vandalised.
The castle which dates from the 1430’s has seen more of the original external wall destroyed along with all the emergency repair work that was carried out last year.
Deputy Brady says a number of individuals have been seen tampering with the castle and removing sections of the walls in recent days.
Damaging a recorded monument is a specific offence under the National Monuments Acts and is subject to severe penalties on conviction. John Brady says he has passed on information to the Gardaí.
The Monuments Service say they are available to assist gardai in the event that sufficient evidence is secured to support a prosecution against those causing the damage.
