Mr. Niall Burgess:

The budget room is there for it. Most of our capital budget goes to ICT and passports at the moment. It is only in the last few years that we have been able to take funding for purchases. We have begun to do it in the last number of years. We did it with our embassy in Malawi last year and we are in the process of purchasing land in Tokyo to build an Ireland House as our rents in the city are very high.
