Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The development of a new Parking Strategy for the Phoenix Park was identified as one of the priority recommendations in the Phoenix Park Transport and Mobility Study 2021. I can confirm that the definitive project brief for the parking strategy is currently being finalised for inclusion in a tender which will be advertised on e-tenders before the end of the year.

The OPW intends to undertake further public consultation as part of the development of this parking strategy for the Park. It should be noted that any new developments, arising from the finished strategy, would be subject to the normal planning processes and the availability of funding in the future.
