We will move on. As the Minister knows, with go deimhin the Chairman, I have been very involved in the issue of Moore Street. It is a very important issue on which work is ongoing in the Department. Will the Minister indicate what the Department's plans are for 14 to 17 Moore Street? Also, we notice in the ten-year plan, to which the Minister alluded in her opening statement, that capital moneys will be made available. We welcome this. Two projects were specifically mentioned. There is to be an Irish language centre in Dublin, while further space is to be provided for the museum. I wonder if work is ongoing in the Department to scope out these projects. Is the Minister looking at Moore Street and its environs as possible locations for both projects? The Irish language centre project will be central for the city, the northside, in particular, with its many transport links. On the museum project, I could not think of a place in the city where there would be a better footfall than the area around O'Connell Street, Moore Street and Henry Street. What are the Minister's thoughts on the matter? I know that she has a big interest in this issue and wonder if progress has been made in scoping out the projects to see how we will progress from here.
