That is what brings people to court. However, if each side has a jot of common sense, they will not end up in court. I am not a spokesperson for the Arts for Peace Foundation. I am not involved at all in it, it is not in my constituency and I have no personal connection, but when I saw the building and came to an understanding of how the building was leased, there is an obligation on the OPW and on the Arts for Peace Foundation to make an effort to resolve the issue before it goes to court.

I ask the Minister of State and the Chairman of the OPW to talk to their officials. I encourage them to find a way to have a meeting, without jeopardising their own position.
