In order to protect the historic bandstand from any further damage, a decision was taken to erect fencing to protect the structure.
The statement added: We hope visitors will continue to enjoy the beautiful surrounds of the park this weekend. The OPW appeals to the public to respect this important heritage site and its historic features, to respect our staff and fellow visitors, to bring their waste home with them and to behave responsibly when in the park.
