I am encouraging the OPW to take an example such as Kilkenny Castle and examine the issues, and then to devise ways in which to deal with those issues. I compliment the staff in the park because given the numbers who use it, there are very few issues. For the few issues that do exist, the individual who might be on duty in the castle park does an excellent job. There is a new emphasis now on outdoor activities and I think that will remain with us after Covid. Therefore, we should examine the structure of walks and whether we will accommodate bicycle routes. Dog-fouling and so on has become a big issue on walks throughout the country.
