Séamus Brennan (Dublin South, Fianna Fail)

If the Deputy has any suggestions regarding international consultants I will certainly consider them. We are proposing to include international figures from the worlds of theatre and architecture on the jury.

Regarding costing, this project is a public private partnership so, in that sense, it is difficult to produce an exact figure but it is expected to be around €150 million. One must appreciate that this figure dates from 2004 or 2005 and may not be the same in 2010.
