Yes. We can assess the rights and wrongs of the National Children's Science Centre deciding to go down a legal route, which they were entitled to do, in respect of the agreement that had been made with them. Ultimately, this is a €100 million ticking time bomb that the State is on the hook for. In pure legal terms, it seems unavoidable that they have an entitlement to €70 million from the taxpayer. They are going to get it one way or another, unless there is some appeal to the goodwill of some very fine people who are involved in the National Children's Science Centre and, equally, the public goal of what they are trying to achieve. Is there some middle way, some third-way solution, sandwiched in the middle of all of this? Who is working on that, if there is such a way?
