Question 146: To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if it is intended to provide all year tours and guides at Pearse's cottage Rosmuc, County Galway, in 2016; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22453/12]

Pearse's Cottage, Rosmuc is open to visitors between Easter and end of August each year and on weekends only until end September. Preparations for commemoration of 2016 are ongoing and consideration will be given to Pearse's Cottage in that context. However it is improbable that visitor numbers, particularly in winter months, would warrant extending the extent of guide service currently provided.

Information panels will be developed for Pearse's Cottage to address the issue of interpretation during the closed season.
