Mr. Conor Falvey:
There has been no delay to date. We are moving the projects through the appraisal phases. These are once-in-many-generations interventions in the cultural institutions, so we are consulting closely with the institutions on their needs. We have been receiving approvals to move them through the various phases. The project relating to the Crawford Art Gallery will go to tender in October. We spoke about the archives earlier. There has been Government approval in principle of the preliminary business case for the National Concert Hall. There is no doubt that when we get to the tender stage of these projects, there will be a conversation with the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform around resourcing of them.
