Gino Kenny (PBP), Dublin Mid-West

My second question is topical. In recent months, car access has been restricted in the Phoenix Park. I think the Phoenix Park is the second largest city park in the world. Central Park in New York is the biggest, although I might not be correct on that. Anyway, it is an amazing amenity in the city of Dublin. Will the Minister review the use of cars, especially around the side roads of the Phoenix Park? Obviously, the main thoroughfare should be available for car use. Will the Minister consider banning cars from certain roads in the Phoenix Park?
