Radio Telescope near Midleton

Hello, I'm with the Cork Astronomy Club. I'm part of the radio astronomy group and we were hoping if possible to go on a trip to the National Space Centre near Midleton to see the radio telescope. However, we're finding it very difficult to get any information on how often they allow visits or if they allow them at all. I was wondering has anyone from one of the other astronomy clubs in other parts of the country ever successfully scheduled a visit to the National Space Centre or for that matter can anyone confirm whether they allow visits at all. Thanks in advance for any help given.

Hi a gang of us from Galway Astronomy Club made a trip there n 2011, a very interestng place but your Chairman Peter Household also joined us, see www.galwayastronomyclub.ie/index.php/about-us/trips-and-tours

Rory Fitzpatrick is their CEO, brought us around the facilityand gave us a talk.

Thanks very much for your help, I'll let the others in the radio astronomy group know that a trip is feasible.
