Dublin North East Labour Party TD Seán Kenny today warmly welcomed the announcement of the awarding of the tender to run the café in Red Stables in St. Anne's Park by Dublin City Council.

"The Red Stables opened 2006 when the building was beautifully restored by Dublin City Council. It houses an arts and crafts centre with room for artists, a gallery and a café. Every Saturday there is a food and crafts market in the courtyard. They are a fantastic amenity to have in St. Anne's Park and on the Northside of Dublin. It enables people to get a snack and a drink when they are visiting the many amenities St. Anne's Park, including the Rose Garden and children's playground, and there is also a country market held there as well."

"I would also note that the public toilets adjacent to the café are to be cleaned and maintained by café operator as part of the agreement to run the Red Stables. The toilets will be cleaned and maintained outside normal Dublin City Council working hours at the Red Stables and at other times as requested by Dublin City Council. I know there have been complaints about the conditions of these toilets in the past by visitors and I welcome the strict requirements to maintain them included in this agreement."
