Major improvements have been made by the Commisioners of Public Works at Clonmacnoise in recent years. As the first phase in the development of a new visitor centre, landscaped bus and car parking facilities have been provided as well as a new toilet block. The plans also provide for the provision of a large exhibition area, an audio-visual theatre and refreshment facilities. This work will be carried out on a phased basis as funds become available. At this stage I cannot say when the entire project will be completed.
