Question:32 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Finance if he has any plans to improve the signposting of national monuments; and if he has any plans to improve the existing signs.
Written Answers. - Signposting of National Monuments.
There are plans to signpost all accessible national monuments throughout the country that are under the care of the Commissioners of Public Works. Work on a pilot scheme for the national monuments of County Kilkenny is well advanced and the signposting for these will be erected in the near future. The implementation of a programme on a national basis will proceed as resources permit. All of the national monuments sites with visitor services are signposted and the effectiveness of this signposting is reviewed on a regular basis to take into account by-pass roads and other influencing factors.
All signposting is in accordance with the criteria set down by the Department of the Environment for tourist amenity signs.
