Question 57: To ask the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to continuing safety problems in the Phoenix Park due to pedestrians using cycle lanes; if his further attention has been drawn to the reports that park rangers have been ordered, on foot of complaints by pedestrians, not to ask them to walk on the designated footpaths rather than in the cycle lanes; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Park Rangers have been instructed to request pedestrians to use footpaths rather than cycle lanes for safety purposes and regularly patrol the cycle lanes to encourage pedestrians to use the footpaths. In addition, the markings on the cycle lanes have recently been renewed.
