No. It has never been published. The former Taoiseach, Deputy John Bruton, who is a member of the Senator's party, made a definitive statement in the Dáil on the matter when some of us pressed him on it.

Senator O'Toole raised an important matter concerning public private partnerships. He was correct in stating agreement had been reached concerning the Cork School of Music when officials from the Department of Finance raised objections to some aspect of it. I do not know what that was. I am convinced that advisers lurk within the Department who are not in favour of public private partnerships. I agree with the Senator that the sooner they come out into the open, the better.
