I have a final question and perhaps Mr. Nugent could answer. With regard to Templemore Garda College, progress has been made on the issues surrounding the sports facilities. There are some outstanding issues that are not major and I can speak directly with Mr. Nugent about these later rather than taking up the meeting. We must, however, sort out the issues around the golf club in a progressive way. The land is owned by the Office of Public Works, OPW, and I accept that the college has to expand. There is a farm there that is of no use anymore and part of the land for the golf club, about which people are not fully aware, is not all owned by the OPW. As far as I know there is an extra piece. We need some solution. After this length of time - since the early 1970s - getting rid of the golf club is not going to happen. It will not be tolerated or acceptable. As they are flexible on how to reorganise that, where are we with this situation?
