Question 183: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, further to his reply to Parliamentary Question No. 258 of 24 October 2007, if the Garda authorities will confirm that the green area referred to is in fact a large children's play centre and preschool with numerous children entering and exiting obscured from passing traffic by parked buses giving rise to serious safety concerns; and if he will review this as a matter of urgency.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that the green area concerned is a secure, railed, public park having within its confines a children's nursery centre at the north-eastern corner and a separate children's playground at the south-eastern corner. There are a number of entrance gates on all sides of the park.

I am further informed that local Garda management have received no complaints or representations in relation to inadequate traffic controls in the area. However, An Garda Síochána is willing to assist in any safety review undertaken by Dublin City Council and / or Dublin Bus in respect of this issue.
