There are two lodges in the Phoenix Park under the control of the Commissioners of Public Works which are vacant at present.
One, the main gate lodge, has recently been allocated to a park employee who will take up occupation shortly. The second, the head gardener's lodge, which was allocated to a park employee, who handed it back in November 1987, is in need of repairs. These are programmed to be carried out in the near future and it is proposed to again allocate the lodge to a park employee.
