139. Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the estimated revenue in respect of events (details supplied); the arrangements to be made to reimburse the Phoenix Park to undertake reinstatement works following large crowd events; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe Bloom Garden event and the proposed Papal Mass are Government- supported events and thus a facility fee is not charged in either case.
With regard to the “Ed Sheeran” concerts, the fees charged are commercially sensitive but are in line with fees charged at other similar venues. As is normal practice for such events, OPW has sought a substantial bond from the event promoter to fund any reinstatement works which may be necessary following these concerts.
