Phoenix park re opens after papal visit

Dublin's Phoenix Park has reopened to the public.

Following a mammoth clean-up, the park opened 15 hours of schedule today at 4pm. Over 200 litter pickers worked through the night clearing public routes - gates and road signage have also been put back in place. A spokesperson for the OPW, which operates the park, has thanked the public who attended yesterdays mass for doing their part and disposing of their litter properly.
