Ms Maureen Kennelly:
Absolutely. As we have made clear, it is an extraordinary and eyewatering sum of money. I said that I have worked all my career in small organisations. The sum of it is indeed so distressing and so enormous. The money was never going to grants. It was all capital money that was coming to us from the Department. I know we have this fantastic project we want to get under way to create an artists' campus at Dublin Port and €6.75 million would go a long way towards that.
