I thank the Minister of State for his response. I am disappointed that while much is happening, the core recommendations of the sub-committee's report have not evolved. The Bank of Ireland has announced it will sell its art collection and use the money for charitable purposes. On the Order of Business today a Member requested that other banks would be asked to do the same. Given that we have shares in many of these banks, could we talk to the banks about investing any money raised in a fund that would reflect the priorities of the report? Spending on arts in education would mean that the money would be kept within the arts. If a structured report already exists, we should talk about using the money raised through the sale of art collections to put the report's recommendations into effect.
