I am beyond that just for the moment. As I understand it, the business case for Foras na Gaeilge recommended not leasing. The business case in respect of the Miesian Plaza was not sufficiently robust. When will the Department conduct the further research? Has such research been commissioned? Given the expenditure involved, is it value for money to continue renting at astronomical prices? The NTMA stated that its accommodation costs more than €1 million per floor. When will the research start, when it will be completed and who will carry it out?
