I thank the Minister of State for his detailed response. Like the Minister, I am committed to seeing something worthwhile happen with the project. The tower has an historical, cultural and educational significance. It is heartening for the people who are interested in it to discover that there may be further plans for it, and we all welcome the initiative.

Senator Healy Eames mentioned towards the end of her contribution a number of local people who were on the same committee on which I was previously. Like the Senator, I found today's scheduling interesting. I lodged the Adjournment matter the day before she did, so it is interesting, to say the least, that the matter was scheduled here for the same day. There is no problem. It is just interesting.
