Neasa Hourigan

Question:

784. Deputy Neasa Hourigan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will liaise with the Office of Public Works to arrange to survey traffic impacts of closing the Phoenix Park to through traffic in view of public demand; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7513/20]

Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (Shane Ross)

The management of the Phoenix Park in Dublin, including the management of traffic and related matters such as traffic surveys, is a matter for the Office of Public Works, for which my colleague the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform is responsible to the Oireachtas.

Traffic management generally, including surveys, is a matter for the relevant local authority, under the Roads and Road Traffic Acts, which I believe is Dublin City Council in this case.
