The promoter of the Garden Festival at Emo Court became insolvent, leaving the infrastructure to which the Deputy refers on site. The assets of the promoter, including those currently on the ground at Emo, were purchased by a third party. The purchaser of this property has commenced the clean-up of the site. OPW is encouraging this party to complete the removal of their property from the site as soon as possible. OPW has also recently carried out a range of works to reduce the visual impact of the festival site and improve safety.
