I might say something to the Deputy if he will let me finish. This is a 400 page judgment. It is a complicated judgment. It is the first time the High Court has ever determined that a national monument be on private property. It could end up in all kinds of contentious litigation in future. It certainly requires that the Government, in respect of whoever the Minister with responsibility for national monuments might be in the future, needs to know what it can do and cannot do. In fact, if one were to proceed ahead now, without the Court of Appeal determining elements of this judgment, one could put at risk the determination of the national monument at Nos. 14 to 17 Moore Street with regard to the expenditure being paid out for it and the work being undertaken in terms of restoration. Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil have legitimate propositions for the development of national monuments. The vast majority of land in this particular location is privately owned-----
