169 Mr. Crowe asked the Minister for Finance if there are proposals and funding being made available for the upgrading of the Magazine Fort in the Phoenix Park; and if so, the timescale and amount that is proposed. [13546/07]

The Office of Public Works wishes to develop and restore the Magazine Fort in the Phoenix Park at a future date. A proposal has been received relating to the use of the Fort but no definitive decision has been made as to the nature of any future restoration, bearing in mind the status of the Phoenix Park as a National Historic Park and no funding is yet in place.
