Mr. Richard Brady:

Deputy Catherine Murphy asked about the current position in respect of plans for College Green. As she will be aware, the proposals will be the subject of a statutory process in which an environmental impact assessment will be submitted to An Bord Pleanála, which will make the final decision.

Deputy O'Keeffe asked a question about people travelling to Dublin at Christmas time, specifically on 8 December. Operation Open City is an annual event under which obstacles for commuters visiting Dublin by car or other means are removed. Road works cease, for example, to ensure the city is open and it is convenient for people to move around the city.
