No, that was not. Having said all that, one of the five pillars of the Creative Ireland programme is to invest in our cultural infrastructure. We are sitting down with all the cultural institutions and asking them to come forward with their capital plans for the next number of years and what they want to do. I am delighted that the two new wings of the National Gallery are almost complete. They are a wonderful addition to the gallery and will be open shortly.

I also want to see us investing in our arts and cultural centres across the country as well.
