THE FAMOUS GATES of the Phoenix Park are set to be rehung this summer nearly three years after they were first taken down for Pope Francis.
Dublinâs PhoenixPark gates are set to be rehung this summer nearly three years after being taken down.
The Office of Public Works (OPW) said the project had been delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic. But they are now hopeful the â¬800,000-plus refurbishment will be complete by end of July. The gates were removed at the time of Pope Francisâs open-air Mass in the park in August 2018.
At that time the OPW decided to refurbish and repaint the gates and repair the pillars. But the project has been delayed repeatedly, with a completion date of September 2020 missed and further delays due to Covid-19 lockdowns.
