Ms Larkin is making these remarks separate from all the good work she indicated Bord na gCon will do in future, for example, in the area of branding, the fact that the organisation will control activity to a much greater degree, and the advertising on buses, which I have seen recently. Ms Larkin referred to there not being enough interest in Dublin. There is not enough interest anywhere. Attendance figures have been in decline at every single stadium. This is anex-post factojustification for the sale of Harold's Cross stadium. It may well be the case that Bord na gCon will get little or nothing for the stadium, leaving the organisation with its debt of almost €21 million. I presume the recommendations in the Indecon report were made in the context of planning permission being granted.
