Mr. Niall Burgess:
We have a facility in Paris, the Centre Culturel Irlandais, which has received significant capital investment from the State. If one looks at Paris as a platform for Irish artists, it is one of the most important and significant staging points for them. Both of those places, New York and Paris, would be launching pads, if one likes, and showcase venues for Irish artists.
