With regard to my Department, and the offices under my aegis, the Office of Public Works will contribute substantially to enhancing the status of Dublin as European Cultural Capital through its planned work programmes. The State investment in such programmes for 1991 will amount to £2.8 million. This will cover projects such as restoration works on the Custom House, Casino, Marino, Rathfarnham Castle and Kilmainham Jail, and upgrading of the Royal and Grand Canals. It will also cover the provision of interpretative centres in the Phoenix Park and on the Grand Canal and improvements to St. Enda's Park, Rathfarnham.
