The Office of Public Works is to begin consultation shortly with the owners of the Kennedy homestead in Duganstown with a view to developing it, possibly as a visitors' centre. The project has a predicted cost of €1.5m and it is anticipated that such a move would greatly increase the tourism potential of the area. The present owner of the home is Patrick Grennan, a third cousin of the late Ted Kennedy, in whose honour the development is to take place. The original suggestion came from Jean Kennedy Smith last year when she was in the area to unveil a statue of President John Kennedy.
