Mr. Brendan O'Brien:

The number of spaces is not particularly huge and there is parking off the quays. We also have off-street multi-storey car parks in the area. As part of the markets development off Capel Street, the city council is looking at the prospect of having a multi-storey car park in the area. We think the parking provision will be reasonably consistent, even taking into account what will happen here. I repeat that as a result of the Luas projects, we lost several hundred parking spaces. There is a necessity to serve the better public transport and transportation needs. Sometimes parking must be removed.
