Mr. John Conlon:

No. As I have indicated in my opening statement and in the material I submitted it to the committee, we still have to find a funder for this project. I have had some discussions with the Secretary General of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media in respect of that Department stepping in to be a funder of this project. The Department will consider that in due course and at that stage, I consider that a value for money business case to underpin the whole project needs to be done by that funding Department to seek agreement on the funding and to move forward on that basis. There will also have to be regard to the governance arrangements for the project moving on. The OPW finds itself in a position where it is contracted to build but not to manage or to be the funder of this facility, even though the legal position is that we have to build it, unfortunately.
