Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The usual language of delivery of guided tours at the Co Meath sites is English. Tours can also be made available for Groups in different languages, including Irish, on request by pre-arrangement with the site. The Office of Public Works (OPW) maintains an Irish language capacity within the guide workforce to respond to such requests and any requirements can generally be facilitated without difficulty.
