Written answers

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 and Dublin City Council are reviewing the Council's proposals regarding improved access to the park prior to formalising a licence arrangement, following which the park is expected to re-open to the public.
