Vol. 525 No. 3

Written Answers. - Local Authority Funding.

Frances Fitzgerald

Question:

380 Ms Fitzgerald asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if he will outline Government policy with regard to the development of playgrounds in public areas; if he has satisfied himself that issues relating to insurance cover can be resolved; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25251/00]

Provision of playgrounds in public areas is a matter for local authorities.

Under their general public liability policies, local authorities should in general have cover for the provision and operation of playgrounds and playcentres. I am not aware of any issues which need to be resolved in this regard.
