I would be quite positively disposed to that suggestion. We still have the old Marconi transmitter in Athlone and are hoping to make a museum and visitor attraction out of it. I look forward to bringing the committee down to visit it when we get it up and running. At the moment the objective is to consolidate the Montrose site. We are examining the possibility of disposing of part of the site and reinvesting the capital. Currently the focus is on the Montrose site and how best it can be utilised and leveraged in the interests of the company. In the longer term, however, I am quite happy to bring it to Athlone.
