Easter has now passed and the museum remains closed but at least our local councillors are to get a preview of the refurbished castle on April 27th. Still no official opening date for the rest of us. It now appears that there will NOT be a tourist office at the castle - there's no money to operate it - and instead there will be literature available with, perhaps, a computer on which to book accommodation. It also appears from the Guardian article (above) that there will be insufficient staff and volunteers may be sought - perhaps from amongst those who they couldn't even be bothered to give interviews to??? No money for a tourist office but the council can find €160,000 for the old post office yard adjacent to the former Dunne's Store carpark. They really need to wake up and smell the coffee.
