Mr. Rory Coveney:

The short answer is that I do not know. There are draft terms of reference, which have not been concluded yet. Neither group has met formally yet. There have been initial discussions with the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht. I cannot answer the Chairman right now. We are hopeful. There is a broad gap between the two. The oversight group will largely deal with governance issues, funding, and any legislative changes that are necessary to enable the safe landing of the NSO within the remit of the National Concert Hall. The working group will deal with some of the more practical issues around the transfer of undertaking process and the management of staff from one institution to another. As I said, the final terms of reference have not been agreed yet, nor have timings for that matter.
