Ms Rosemary Collier:

Yes. It would have impacted the vista. That was looked at. A number of locations around the Leinster Lawn side were looked at and things that impacted on the vista to Leinster House were ruled out as not appropriate to the setting. Part of the reason the shelter is designed as it is is that when you look straight at Leinster House, you do not have poles, pillars and covered structures blocking the view of it.
