Vol. 254 No. 4

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Phoenix Park Constables.

25.

asked the Minister for Finance whether, arising from the growing serious misuse of the Phoenix Park, Dublin by teenage vandals, he will consider appointing additional park constables; and if he proposes to take any other measures to remedy this situation.

I do not at present consider it necessary to increase the number of constables in the Phoenix Park. Isolated incidents of vandalism or disorder occur from time to time but it would not be practicable to guard against every such incident. The question of security is kept under constant review and all practical steps will be taken to prevent misuse of the park by any person or groups of persons.
