The provision of the railings that separate the car park on the Kildare Street side of Leinster House from the National Museum and the National Library, is security-related and is a matter for the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission in the first instance. The commission has not requested OPW to review the matter.

The OPW recently presented sketch proposals to the Joint Committee on House Services to improve the space on the National Library side of the Kildare Street entrance following completion in early 2005 of the entrance pavilion on the National Museum side. The committee has approved the drawing-up of a detailed design in this regard.
