Mr. John McMahon:

Dare I say, we did some work conscious of the fact that this was a global event. Maintaining, caring for and presenting parks takes place on an ongoing basis obviously. The grass has to be cut, the flora and fauna looked after, the deer managed and everything else. Hosting this event was a huge exercise. There were other significant bits and pieces, a multiplicity of smaller works, that needed to be done to prepare for it. For example, designated walkways had to be taped off from the main gates up to the event area. There was an awful lot of stuff like that to be done.
