The OPW have just announced the closure of a section of Chesterfield Avenue for the summer months. This allows Park visitors to use this section of Chesterfield Avenue for leisure activities and picnics. The closure is operating for several years now and has proved very popular.
We are pleased to confirm that the OPW have agreed to extend the closing date for submission on the above review until Friday 31st May 2019 at 6pm.

We feel that this is still too short a time for consultation and submission (the full draft document is 198 pages long) and we are trying to have this closing date extended further.
We are asking anyone with an interest in and love for the Phoenix Park to request a further extension of the closing date by contacting Mr. Kevin Moran TD, Minister of State with responsibility for the OPW. You can write to the Minister at the Office of the Minister of State, OPW, 52, St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin 2, D02DR67. You can telephone the Minister’s Office on (01) 647 6000 or you can email him at ministersoffice@opw.ie
