I appreciate that. I will take 20 to 25 minutes because there is a particular project I want to consider. It is a private entity but the OPW has been involved with it, namely, the redevelopment of the Irish-Jewish Museum.

I am not interested in the plans. I did not make any observations or submissions on them, because I do not think that is the role of a Deputy but I do believe a Deputy has a role in oversight. My interest is not in the body with which this is being done, the Irish-Jewish Museum. It is important the State contributes to its own history, heritage and culture.

I am interested in the particular way the OPW has conducted itself in this project. I want to get a better insight into how the OPW works when it does these things and the conclusion in this particular case. The OPW was first engaged in this project in 2007. Was that done at the instruction of the Taoiseach at the time?
