We would expect a response next week. I suggest we await the response before we put direct questions. This correspondence raises major issues. It is a pity it is anonymous. Regarding the resignation of senior staff, according to the correspondence, the artistic director, chairperson and the chief executive resigned. It goes on to raise serious issues regarding public expenditure in the region of €26 million, a 3% levy on commercial rates in Galway to pay for it over a three-year period and an allocation of €15 million from the Department.
