As I mentioned, in 2015, €45 million was spent on this project, which is a considerable amount of money. At this stage, I do not think there is even a plan as to where it is going. I am sure the overground option has been looked at. I imagine it would be less costly at any rate. We will seek a note on it from the Department, as suggested by Deputy Carthy. Is it agreed to note and publish the correspondence? Agreed.

No. 779Bisfrom Ms Katherine Licken, Secretary General, Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.

It is dated 6 September, 2021 and provides further information requested by the committee on Galway 2020 arising from our consideration of the matter at our meeting on 6 July 2021. The Secretary General states that the Galway 2020 monitoring and evaluation project is under way following a competitive tender process and offers to provide the committee with a copy of the project report once it is complete. It is proposed to accept this offer. Is that agreed? Agreed. It would be useful to have that. It is also proposed that we will note and publish this correspondence. Deputy Munster, do you wish to comment on this?
