Written answers

All national parks are open and operational. However, it should be noted that Killarney House, located within Killarney National Park, is currently closed for renovations. A major refurbishment programme for Killarney House and its ornamental grounds and gardens is underway. The House is being developed as the main visitor and interpretative centre for the National Park, while the gardens will be restored to their former glory. It is expected substantive works on both the House and Gardens will progress in the latter half of 2013, with completion planned for 2014.
