The works to Killarney House that began last year - including the new extension - are now substantially completed and work on the interpretative exhibitions is in train. Once this latter element has been moved forward sufficiently, the staffing requirements can be addressed. In this regard, staffing requirements at the location referred to by the Deputy, as with all other areas of my Department, will remain the subject of ongoing consideration in light of the overall business needs and within the pay framework to be approved for 2016. The nature of the posts required, as well as the numbers involved and the budgetary implications, will be determined in due course.
