During the early weeks of January, temporary steel propping was put to work at Swords Castle East Tower. A representative from the County Council revealed the reasoning behind the propping’s erection to the County Leader. The East Tower, which faces onto North Street, was one part of a planned set of consolidation operations. At the time, these undertakings had recently been concluded at the castle.
When the ivy that surrounded the tower had been detached the building’s condition was determined to be unstable. This was because of an exceptional lean and bulge that had manifested on the wall, as well as the masonry’s state. The organised consolidation works on the tower could not be conducted, with engineers stating that risks to the structure were present.
Due to the castle’s status as a national monument, all works were halted pending a settlement on the best actions with the National Monuments Section of the Department of Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural, and Gaeltacht Affairs. They approved the introduction of temporary emergency props, enabling the consolidation work to carry on in a more secure way.
