Mr. Aaron Byrne:

In respect of Ms Bernie Keogh's role as trail crew, we selected her - and everybody else we will in future - based on ambassadorial skills. They are doing maintenance but they need to be seen to be doing it. They also need to be able to interact with the public when they are out on the trail and give the messaging that we want to impart.

On antisocial behaviour, we have a couple of hot spots, as every county does, but one of the key things we try to do is make sure that the place looks really well. If a place does not look cared for, then it seems the antisocial behaviour becomes even worse in that area. We are struggling with a particular valley in Wicklow, where a lot of antisocial camping is taking place. We are trying to work through that with the local authority, the parking facilities there, and the local community on what they want to see. Their fields or gates are getting blocked up by people camping and so on. That is a collaborative effort at the work level. Coillte is there, as is the park, representation for private landowners through myself, and the local authority. Being able to make decisions at the county recreation level helps to figure out what the best way is to fix that. Often, it is not about a larger car park.
