Heather Humphreys (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I agree with the Deputy that the Phoenix Park is a jewel in the crown. It is a tremendous facility that we need to treasure and protect. A process is under way regarding the application for UNESCO status. This process has to be led by the local authority because my Department cannot impose it. However, we are happy to support the local authority in progressing the matter. Regarding the issue of unregulated parking and traffic, I am happy to have that examined with a view to resolving it. The Deputy can speak to me later regarding specific issues.
