Ms Rosemary Collier:

I thank the Deputy. The scheme is very successful and it is really important in giving access to people who might not otherwise be able to afford to attend. Our ticket prices are considered incredibly low by comparison with those of other visitor attractions. Obviously, the OPW is keen to ensure access for all citizens in the first instance, to ensure value for money and to support tourism and the economy by having accessible prices for international visitors. The free Wednesdays scheme was introduced by a former Minister responsible for the OPW in 2016 and it has been very successful. We do track the numbers. Every year when we publish our reports on visitor numbers, we include the visitor number line in relation to people who attend-----
