The type of refurbishment the staff and others wanted is going ahead and should be completed in another month. Ironically, the exhibition in Collins Barracks has been successful with many school tours booked in for this exhibition. As a result, the museum does not want to move before Christmas. It is believed the best time to move was February. Visitor numbers are up for the museum because of the exhibition's accessibility and imaginative content. I congratulate all involved, in particular the museum's director, Mr. Pat Wallace. The disability issues are being dealt with. There will be access and I presume also access to bathroom facilities.
