I thank the Senator for her additional comments. I acknowledge the sentiment that the Curragh is a unique and special place in the hearts and minds of the people of Kildare and, indeed, those beyond who have the pleasure of visiting it and the many who make their living on foot of it. I welcome the Senator’s intention to introduce a Private Member’s Bill, as referenced in her contribution, around the issues of enforcement of the various encampments and fly-tipping, which sadly is a feature at the Curragh and needs to be prevented, as well as antisocial behaviour. I will reaffirm what the Senator said to the Tánaiste and I am sure he will be in touch with her directly over the coming weeks when the report is finalised.
