219. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government if he is aware of the Custom House History Museum and its exhibition which fails to mention An Gorta Mór and the role of the administration in the Custom House at the time played; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

On the 15 November 2021, I officially opened The Custom House Visitor Centre, in conjunction with the Office of Public Works (OPW) and in partnership with Fáilte Ireland.

The Custom House Visitor Centre is a visitor experience exploring the construction, burning and restoration of Dublin’s Custom House featuring new and interactive exhibits telling the rich history of the building and showcasing its exceptional architecture.

Any queries regarding the content of the exhibit should be directed to the OPW.
