It's been closed for nearly two years.
A long-awaited visitor centre in the midlands is set to re-open in the coming weeks.
The facility at Clara Bog, operated by the National Parks and Wildlife Service, has been closed for nearly two years due to a lack of staffing levels at appropriate grades.
But, with the Head Guide and Education Guide positions set to be filled shortly, the opening day for the Visitor Centre is on the horizon.
The NPWS has asked for continued forbearance for another short while.
Junior Agriculture Minister and Offaly Green Party Senator Pippa Hackett is welcoming the news:
"I must acknowledge the work of my Green Party colleague, Minister Malcolm Noonan for his work on the Strategic Action Plan for the renewal of the National Parks and Wildlife Service, and of course the NPWS team.
Once new staff are in place, and the NPWS are satisfied the building and facilities are ready to receive visitors again, the centre will open doors to the public."
