116. Deputy Paschal Donohoe asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if his attention has been drawn to a matter (details supplied) regarding charges for using the Phoenix Park, Dublin; if he will review this decision; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2985/12]
Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (Deputy Brian Hayes): It is the policy of the Office of Public Works to charge a fee for any commercial enterprise which makes use of State property for profit. In the case of ‘boot camps’, the fee is set at €10 plus VAT per day. The level of fees charged for the use of State property is judged to be appropriate and no fees are charged for charitable or non-profit making enterprises.
