Work is nearing completion in relation to this project. The landscaping and planting of the grounds and ornamental gardens is expected to be concluded during Spring 2016. The interpretation/exhibition phase of the project is also advancing. Staffing requirements at this location, as with all other areas of my Department, remains the subject of on-going consideration in light of the overall business needs and within the pay framework approved for 2016. Once this interpretation/exhibition phase has been moved forward sufficiently, the staffing requirements of the project will be addressed. In this regard, the nature of the posts required, as well as the numbers involved and the budgetary implications, will be determined in due course.
