On that point, regional parity is something that fuels my belief in a united Ireland. It fuels everything about my politics, not that the current funding would allow one to have such a vision. I would encourage Ms McHugh to not only envisage the Crawford as a leader for Cork but for the south of Ireland. It is a huge frustration that the Government did not allow satellites for the likes of the National Gallery when it was being refurbished. One of our reports is around viable rural communities and I refer to the town of Ennis in that regard. The Tate established a number of satellites. I would encourage Ms McHugh not to allow the lack of funding from Government at this time to place a ceiling on her vision for the Crawford.
