Amharc ar fhreagraPrior to and following the agreement with the National Museum of Ireland to temporarily relocate Seanad Éireann to the Ceramics Room of the Museum, the Office of Public Works has been actively engaged with the management and the staff of the Museum to assist with the process of their preparation of the detailed plans and tender documentation required to advance these works. Any and all works proposed will ensure that the integrity of the museum will be maintained and respected at all times. The outcome of investigative works that are now being undertaken will inform the detailed design and specifications of the works required and this accordingly will facilitate detailed cost estimates.
