Mr. Richard Shakespeare:

The arts office is currently doing research, especially in Dublin 8, on the arts and cultural space. There will hopefully be good news about two sites on Bridgefoot Street and Merchant's Quay. I do not have any specifics about air quality but we are looking to deploy air quality monitors in some of the smart bins we have to get the on-street air quality. The obstacles to retaining Tolka Park are more than just that. There are many underutilised spaces in that area. There is a need for space but there is also a need to fund capital projects, whether it is Dalymount Park or other capital projects. These types of development are not generally overly funded by the State. Coming back to Deputy Murphy's point, funding in that space could be enhanced but I do not think it is the key driver for removing Tolka Park.
