As I indicated in my reply to Question No. 375 of 9 March 2004, no decision has been made in respect of the future use of Beladd Park. The work being carried out is primarily of a security nature and consists of fencing and demolition works. The main purpose of this work is to ensure the security of the Midlands Prison and to prevent incursions in the area by persons seeking to propel contraband over the prison wall. The work is being undertaken by SIAC Construction and is due for completion within the next six weeks. The overall cost of the work is approximately €1 million.
