That is mixed news. I am slightly concerned that the decision will be reviewed when the tenders come in but I am heartened by the commitment shown by the Minister of State. A contribution by Meath County Council is reasonable. The council has had major difficulty in securing sites for the provision of playgrounds, particularly in the village of Donore, the nearest village to the site. It was not able to agree on a site for a playground so this will be the perfect place for a playground for the village of Donore. I understand the council has some funds for it. I initiated a discussion with the county council a year and a half ago and I put the suggestion to it on behalf of the former Minister of State, Martin Mansergh. Formal contact took place after that and I urge the Minister of State to maintain contact with the county manager. It will be a win-win situation, with the community and the OPW benefiting. This will attract families to come to the place. I have three young children and I bring them to it. They will look forward to a lovely playground. I do not know whether the Minister of State has looked into funding from the east Border region or Drogheda Borough Council or Louth County Council. This would be of great benefit to the town of Drogheda. I will press the Minister of State on this and wish him well in his deliberations. There will be a net revenue benefit to the OPW if this is built.
