It should not just be a list stating two properties in Baggot Street, for example. It is essential that we get the detail.

To return to the issue of the national children's science centre, in 2000 the OPW committed to the redesign and restoration of the Earlsfort Terrace building. Planning permission was sought and it was granted in 2018 or 2019, I believe. Then there was a request for a tender. It is 26 years since this was first mentioned. With regard to the urgent need, as it is sometimes described, and with regard to the other premises, the other science museum, what is the justification? The State is entering into this. The facility is to be operated by a private company. Why is there still a need for this? Is it a viable project?
