I very much look forward to it too. Deputy Wall is right because not only is the Curragh, to use his phrase, the jewel in the crown from a Defence Forces point of view and a valuable resource for the Defence Forces, but more broadly it is also an incredible resource for the people of Kildare and Ireland. If we look at some of what we have managed to achieve together as a country in recent years in terms of the expansion of public spaces and so forth, there is so much more that could be done with the Curragh. I know Deputy Wall and other representatives from Kildare have been involved in engagement around a plan for the Curragh. I look forward to visiting the Curragh and engaging with the Deputy and others on it very shortly.
