It is only fair to everybody at the table that I point out that we are working closely with all of the groups and public representatives to try to bring the situation in Castletown House to what I would call a successful conclusion. I have made huge inroads thanks to the people who work with me. As the Deputy knows, we are meeting again tomorrow and on Tuesday. While we look to the past, we also have to look to the future. The closure of Castletown House has resulted in the loss of business to people in the wider area who have spoken to and reached out to me, as I have done with the committee and public representatives. We should work together to ensure Castletown House is open, something to which we have committed.
