However, the concern really is that this was not the case. Mr. Ó Donnchú now has the answer from the Comptroller and Auditor General and I would have expected the Department to have had oversight, not on every single detail, but to the extent that in general, it was happy with the procurement process or that the gallery had signed up to a code of governance and so on, as would have been expected of it. However, this does not appear to be the case. I am not introducing another issue but I wish to explain my concern to Mr. Ó Donnchú. Is it correct that the Department of Arts, Heritage and Gaeltacht allocated €6 million to the Limerick City of Culture project?
