View answerFree admission was introduced in May 2021.
Of the €15,931.00 generated in 2021, €10,016.00 related to advance online bookings which were made towards the end of 2021 for visits in 2022.
The remainder relates to admission income generated during very limited re-opening dates at a small number of sites during the Covid 19 pandemic and prior to May 2021 when free admission was introduced.
