Did the OPW get a full set of accounts? I am following up on what the Chairman said. We know there are costs involved, but is there a kind of financial construct whereby the venues get some reinvestment back through the State from hosting these events? As I have mentioned, when these mega-events happen, by and large, those who live in the neighbourhood are unable to move out of their houses. They support these events for the sake of the facilities in the park.
