It would be an absolute travesty, the idea that a group of people who had come together to build a National Children's Science Centre for the children of Ireland, located in Dublin, would go to the High Court and bind the State to delivering it. I have never heard of anything like it. There is probably nothing like this in the world, where an agreement exists that a party could bind the State into delivering a museum in addition to the moneys they are going to provide. Is there any parallel to this extraordinary situation that Mr. Conlon can point us to?
