Connemara's Kylemore Abbey could soon be sold to one of America's most famous universities.
Notre Dame is reportedly close to a deal which would see the historic building used as student accommodation.
Construction was started at Kylemore in the second half of the 19th Century and it played host to a girls' boarding school for nearly 90 years until it closed in 2012.
According to the Sunday Business Post, an agreement could be reached over the 1,000 acre site within a month.
