The point Mr. McGlynn made is something at which we are looking at home, trying to find a location. We have the Backstage Theatre and it is putting on shows and it is regularly full. However, organisations need to practice and so on, and that cannot be done on the same night as a show is on, where two organisations are looking for the same place. There is a scheme giving funding to each local authority for derelict properties. Perhaps there is a property that might suit that could be purchased through that fund and made available at a low rate or free of charge to organisations for the rehearsals and so on. They could go onto the main stage for the shows. That makes sense.
