I thank Ms Kennelly and wish everyone here from the Arts Council the best of luck. I sincerely hope the next time we speak that system will be up and running and benefiting the people we all collectively represent.

I will move on to the National Gallery and Dr. Campbell. It was a sort of revelation today to learn not only that €124,000 was spent on the scanner but that €220,000 will be spent to procure a cabinet for the scanner. Will Dr. Campbell explain why a scanner was bought six or seven years ago and now we must buy a cabinet?
