Mr. Feargal Ó Coigligh:
A well-known figure in Irish film was involved. She was a great enthusiast and she promoted the project. I think it is probably safe to say that it would not be there without her. A board was put in place to govern it and it comprises people with the relevant skills, but it is clear that it was not sufficient to deliver a project of that complexity. That is the lesson that the Department has learned.
