I met the 1916 committee and I know other members have also been involved in dealing with this matter. I would like the committee to consider whether it would be possible for it to examine some of the issues identified in the letter we received, particularly as they pertain to public moneys. Obviously, there has been a very high profile controversy in respect of this matter. Whatever form it eventually takes, the project involved will obviously be a flagship one for the State. There is obviously a very specific timeline involved, particularly in view of the fact that the centenary is rapidly approaching. In addition to passing the correspondence on, I would like us to examine in what way we might be of assistance in investigating the matters set out in the letter.
