Question:

140. Deputy Jack Chambers asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if the Office of Public Works plans to provide a pedestrian crossing in the Phoenix Park; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6944/16]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

There are already a number of pedestrian crossing points, located throughout the large acreage of the Phoenix Park. As part of a larger scheme of road upgrade works a previous proposal for additional crossing points on Chesterfield Avenue was rejected by An Bord Pleanála.

The Commissioners of Public Works will continue to monitor the position in keeping with public safety, the historical landscape setting of the Phoenix Park and consistent with the Conservation Management Plan for the Phoenix Park.
