I wish to discuss Harold's Cross, about which there is a big debate at the moment. As we were coming in today, we saw a group protesting outside. A presentation was arranged by the Chairman a couple of weeks ago in the Dáil which was attended by many of us. It was said at that meeting that there was no problem. People who were at the meeting said that if they were in control, they would handle it a certain way and keep Harold's Cross going. Is Bord na gCon happy with the sale of Harold's Cross? I presume the deal is done. I know Deputy Burke asked about that. The deal is done so Bord na gCon has made a deal with the Department of Education and Skills on the sale of Harold's Cross. It cannot disclose how much money is involved. Will it reduce Bord na gCon's debt? If so, will it reduce by a lot or a percentage? Will Bord na gCon be viable after this?
