One of my first interactions with members of the OPW following my election as a Deputy was to have people knock on my door to ask if they could look at my paintings. They came in and lifted the paintings from the wall. We stood out for a minute and they catalogued everything. It later emerged that there was an intense investigation into missing paintings in the Leinster House complex. Media reports suggest up to 24 paintings are missing, some of which are of considerable value. I know one McEntaggart painting is worth about €2,400. I ask Ms McGrath to update us on that process.
