Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The Office of Public Works and Dublin City Council have agreed in principle that the management and maintenance of the Croppies Acre Memorial Park will be undertaken by the Council. OPW awaits proposals from DCC regarding access and possible alterations to the park prior to formalising a licence arrangement, following which the park is expected to reopen to the public.
