I thank the Minister for coming in today to take this matter and for his comprehensive reply. I am concerned that the Tulla Pipe Band's application was not given comprehensive consideration in the context of the significance of the 125th anniversary of the Clare Association, which is in itself a banner event, and the tourism opportunity represented by the Brian Ború millennium celebrations, a national cultural event in 2014 in respect of which there is a strong east Clare connection. Those factors were not considered by the adjudicating panel in reaching its decision. Is there any way the application might be reviewed by Culture Ireland if additional background information were to be submitted to Culture Ireland?
