The Departments of Finance, Social and Family Affairs, Enterprise, Trade and Employment, and Environment, Heritage and Local Government will all be involved. They all appear to have roles, or they have acquired roles. As Senator Brian Hayes has mentioned, there is an ongoing role for the Oireachtas in monitoring the issue, and an early debate is called for.

I am sure the Leader is aware of CIE's initiative entitled Art on the Move. It refers to the collection of paintings at CIE's head office at Heuston Station. However, some of the offices in which the paintings were held were removed to allow greater access for the public through the station. Some of this collection is now being shown to people in the regions, which is to be greatly welcomed. The paintings are on show in Kerry at the moment, and I attended the exhibition some days ago. I thought it a pity that more paintings were not on show.
