Phoenix Park plans
The Chair clarified a point about deer, and Senator McDowell reiterated his opposition to a funicular railway in Phoenix Park. The Deputy Leader concluded by saying the park's character should be protected and the plans examined further.
Coming from Kerry, the Leas-Chathaoirleach would be an expert on deer.

They could do without a funicular railway going through the park.

Is the Senator controlling the conversation?

As Senator McDowell noted, we should be slow to change the integrity and character of the Phoenix Park. I do not know if it warrants a debate but it is certainly something that should be addressed. I will have a look at those plans to see what exactly is proposed. That was a fairly short Order of Business. It should not be as long as it normally is because, at the end of the day, we are ordering the business of the day. It should not take up as much time as it does.
