People here are raising issues about whether €90,000, €100,000 or €200,000 is spent and at the same saying maybe €20 million, or €50 million is better spent. While I appreciate the importance of refurbishment of historic buildings and community involvement, in a public private partnership there has to be certainty that the contractor is good, will deliver on cost, is tax compliant and will work its way through the system to get value for money for the State. We should be conscious of these issues as well as taking others on board.
