The Phoenix Park is one of the largest enclosed public parks in any capital city in Europe and is home to around 600 deer but when it comes to holding concerts, events and even sporting events, how is the park managed and what goes on behind the scenes? Paul McDonnell is the Chief Superintendent of the Phoenix Park for nearly 10 years and he joined Pat to answer those questions and to tell us what his day in the life looks like as the Park’s Superintendent.

The show today  was live from Dublin Zoo as part of Newstalk Summer Tour 2025 with thanks to ESB’s 1600 EV chargers across Ireland giving you the freedom to go further.
