Since my appointment as Minister I have not had an opportunity to visit Maynooth Castle in my official capacity and to review the €2 million restoration works which have been carried out there. As I advised the Deputy in reply to Question No. 568 of 5 April 2007, this consisted of a programme of conservation and adaptation works to the ground floor, the provision of access to the first floor and the provision of an exhibition and reception point. This has facilitated visitor access and the provision of a guide service. The site is now open to the public on a seasonal basis.
