I propose to take Questions Nos. 935, 939 and 981 together.

The Phoenix Park is an internationally significant archaeological complex and National Historic Park. Its current water supply facilities are strategically located where suitable water infrastructure already exists. The OPW has installed a water filling station in the courtyard of the Phoenix Park Visitor Centre. Given the high volume of visitors to this location, the dispenser is in frequent use. The OPW is investigating possible locations linked to the existing water infrastructure throughout the Park for installation of extra water fountains as well as bottle filling stations, where possible.
