Questions about Áras Íde

Is Áras Íde on the National Inventory?

Yes: rated Regional (record 21829005).

Can you visit Áras Íde?

It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.

When was Áras Íde built?

Its National Inventory record dates it to 1850–1870.

Is Áras Íde protected?

Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
