Staffing requirements for Muckross House, and Killarney National Park in general, remain the subject of consideration in light of my Department’s overall business needs and the approved pay framework for 2015. My Department has recently secured approval for the recruitment of additional seasonal staff in Muckross for the 2015 season. As part of this, a new centrally located information kiosk adjacent to the main arrival point at Muckross will be established. This will enhance the visitor experience as it will provide visitors, at the very outset of their visit to the site, with valuable information on the variety of locations to visit – Muckross House, Muckross Gardens, Walled Garden Centre, Traditional Farms, nature trails, and so forth.
The subject of OPW budgets is a matter for my colleagues, Brendan Howlin T.D., Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, and Simon Harris, T.D., Minister of State at the OPW.
