No, but I wish to avail of the opportunity, if the Leas-Chathaoirleach will bear with me, to ask the Minister of State to confirm whether that is the case. In my view it is a total waste of money and it is sending out the wrong signal to the public from this House. I do not think we should indulge in that type of business. It is a waste of money. The likelihood is that the lawn will have to be dug up again when further refurbishments take place. Given the current financial difficulties we must be careful when we are doing things like that.
