The Buckley family told The Irish Times: “We leave our home of 25 years fondly and are grateful for the opportunity we have been given to save and restore Strancally Castle.

The family originally bought the castle in the 2000s.
The publication reports that Mark and Priscilla will not be making a permenant move. However, they will use the castle as a base when they visit Meta’s European headquarters, which is based in Ireland.
