I will ask Ms Collier about Duncannon Fort. This week, €500,000 from the town and village renewal scheme was granted in the Vote. What is the proposal from the OPW? Strictly speaking, that €500,000 is to reinstate the building, which has experienced deterioration in recent years. We heard in March that the old Garda station in Wexford may be repurposed. I thought the site was being sold. In respect of how we spend our money, many of these things seem like closing the door when the horse has bolted. Everything we spend afterwards costs twice as much because of the deterioration in the interim. Where are those two projects at? I think the fort may fall under the remit of Ms Collier.
