I am informed by the Garda authorities that under their arrangements for traffic control during Horse Show Week, 1979, Prince of Wales Terrace was open to traffic but parking was restricted to one side of the roadway so as to prevent traffic obstruction. A resident of Prince of Wales Terrace who had made representations to the Garda in the matter was informed of the arrangements. A Garda presence was maintained in the terrace during the week for the purposes of security and traffic control. Similar arrangements operated during the Spring Show earlier in the year and also for the Spring Show and the Horse Show in 1978.
