To return to capital projects, the valuation of the Thornton Hall site is still €49.3 million. Is that an appropriate valuation now, in view of what has occurred? Has there been any engagement with any other State authority about the use of that facility?

Is any income being generated from those lands at this stage? What does the Department plan to do to deal with this? It is a large amount of money that was expended. It was €30 million to buy it and €20 million of infrastructure has been put in place but it is still idle. No State agency is using it but taxpayer money was spent on it.
