Yes, and the costings for the station in Bennettsbridge.

Finally, I mention the ancient document or poem "Pangur Bán". I have raised this numerous times with the Minister and I have been fobbed off. I am not going to be fobbed off any longer. It has been made available, I understand, by the authorities in Germany. I asked that it be displayed in Kilkenny Castle because there is certain significance to the poem with the cats and a company in Kilkenny that has made it famous, Cartoon Saloon. There would be a great promotional aspect to it for the OPW. There would be a very good win in it for the OPW. If it were brought to the castle I am sure Cartoon Saloon would be interested in its existence and its display. I ask the OPW to deal with it. I know there are issues around display and all the rest of it but I think that can be achieved and it can be done.
