94 Mr. Gormley asked the Minister for Finance the legal basis for refusing permission to an organisation (details supplied) for a peace picnic in the Phoenix Park on 26 June 2004; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18729/04]
View answerFollowing on firm assurances given by the organisation, permission has been granted for a peace picnic in the Phoenix Park on 26 June 2004.
Responsibility for the management of the Phoenix Park recently transferred to the Office of Public Works. Management policy is to ensure that all events are properly organised and stewarded and will not unduly interfere with the enjoyment of the facilities by the general public.
