To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if the old pavilion in the Phoenix Park, Dublin, at the 15 acres will be rebuilt; if the Office of Public Works is satisfied with the repair work carried out to the damaged ground following concerts in the park last year; and if there are plans to upgrade the Magazine Fort in any way in the future.

The old pavilion was removed on the grounds of public safety as the owner of the building, Dublin County GAA Board, was not in a position to maintain or repair the building. Parts of the building had collapsed and were a danger to the public. There are no plans to replace the building. OPW is satisfied with the repair works undertaken on the concert site. The OPW will continue to secure and maintain the Magazine Fort and has plans to enable appropriate public access when funding allows.
