Everybody sees the value of a capital of culture. I acknowledge that Galway has a particular offering and that it was unlucky with the timing We had had problems with this previously, as Deputy Burke pointed out. Limerick was another capital of culture where, if I recall correctly, there were problems. We appeared to repeat the mistakes as opposed to learn from them. Has there been an overall analysis, with issues identified, in order that we will not run into those difficulties again? It is very worthwhile but it is often diminished by some of the controversy around it.
