The Office of Public Works has said it will not proceed with plans to build a temporary car park inside the Celbridge Gate at Castletown House and Estate.
The OPW met concerned local residents at a public meeting organised to discuss the closure of the M4 access road and car park.
The OPW told residents that it will instead allow cars access through the historic entrance to Castletown House at Celbridge Gate and facilitate visitor parking at the front of the house in the short term.
"We have had very robust and positive engagement with the community and we have listened carefully to their views on the historic landscape at Castletown," said Rosemary Collier, Assistant Secretary General and Head of Heritage at the Office of Public Works.
"We will not proceed with our temporary car park plans," she said.
"Visitors should be advised that there will be reduced car parking facilities but we will do our best to look after our local and national visitors within the area at Castletown estate, in State ownership.
"Castletown House and Estate will be fully operational and open to the public and the team looks forward to welcoming visitors as normal," she added.
In a statement the OPW said it is committed to working with the community to resolve access issues at Castletown from the M4 side and confirmed that it is in contact with the private landowner.
