Vote 33 - Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (29 Mar 2018) Jonathan O'Brien: I have one final question on this issue but I would like to come in again later to speak about the Cork event centre. At this stage, a private funder came on board, and as pointed out by Deputy MacSharry, a decision was taken that the cinema would be provided on a 30-year lease and that for the first 25 years we would be paid €1. When was that decision taken?

Vote 33 - Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (29 Mar 2018) Jonathan O'Brien: At that stage, we had committed the original tranche of money, an additional tranche of money and there were issues with two contractors in terms of site management, we knew how much the private investor had committed to paying but not the amount paid at that point yet we agreed to a lease in respect of which he would pay €1 for 25 years. Is that correct?

Vote 33 - Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (29 Mar 2018) Jonathan O'Brien: Does Ms Licken think it was acceptable at that stage to sign a lease for €1 for 25 years given all the issues with this project, including the additional funding which the Department had to provide? Was there no other option available to get this cinema opened?
