Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 June 2023
274. Deputy Paul Donnelly asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform if the OPW intends to put out a tender for the provision of restaurant/café service at Dublin Castle during the remainder of 2023. [29426/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraIt is not intended to tender for provision of restaurant/café services at Dublin Castle at present as a process is currently underway to redevelop the visitor reception facilities at Dublin Castle.
The space formerly occupied by the tearooms/café has been prioritised for redevelopment as part of a planned new visitor hub for the Castle.
Visitors are already well served by numerous cafés and restaurants in the immediate vicinity of the Castle including at the Silk Road Café at the Chester Beatty, adjacent to the Dubh Linn gardens.
