Northern Ireland written question – answered at on 13 March 2006.
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many days per year Hillsborough castle is open to the public; and whether there are plans to increase this number in 2006.
In 2006 Hillsborough castle will be open to the public for guided tours on Saturdays during May and June. In addition we will facilitate tours from organised groups during the working week, official business permitting. We will also open on European Heritage Open Days.
We have no plans to extend public opening at present. Our experience from previous years has shown that visitor numbers would not be sufficient to make opening at other times of the year financially viable.
