I propose to take Questions Nos. 109 and 110 together.

All the operations, including opening hours of visitor centres and sites throughout the country presented by the Office of Public Works, were reviewed earlier this year in the light of budgetary considerations. As a result, the opening date of the Céide Fields, Co. Mayo for 2009 was brought back to Easter and the closing date rescheduled for mid-October, at the shoulder of the season. The centre will, however, open for the October / Hallowe'en Bank Holiday. It is likely that broadly the same arrangements will be put in place for 2010, but the position remains under continuous review.
