Mr. David Cooney:
It will reopen over the summer. Hopefully in the next month or so the Government will decide on the appointment of ambassadors. The new embassy will be located modestly. We saved €435,000 in rent that we were spending on the accommodation of the embassy to Italy. We will be accommodating the Embassy to the Holy See for considerably less when it is reopened.
