Turning to the National Gallery and the X-ray machine, it is extraordinary that a process had been followed without identifying, at the earliest time, an alternative location for the machine. A rationale was laid out for what happened. The space that had been identified was no longer available. I have several questions about this aspect. It was stated that while a cabinet is now being purchased at a cost of €222,000, there was no additional cost to the Exchequer. References were also made to the process undertaken between 2017 and now in the context of utilising partners to address that need. Are these international partners?
