Ms Katherine Licken:

On the question about the OPW, it is the case the Department moved part of its heritage division to a site in North King Street, Smithfield, Dublin. The OPW managed all of that process on our behalf. It would identify the building, fit it out and negotiate the lease. We then would physically move to it.

Obviously, there is more to it than that. In this case, however, the OPW was not in a position to identify and provide a building for us, either a building owned by the State or a building that it would lease on our behalf. It certainly offered advice, however. We consulted it and it said that Foras na Gaeilge secured a site itself and that it would provide advice and input as required.
