I thank the Senator. Given what happened a few boards later, they should bring us back. I was on the board in the early 1990s and into the 2000s. I was the only dissenting voice on a board of 15 members against the National Concert Hall moving. At that time, there was the beginning of the sloshing around of money. We were going to move from Fenian Street to a green field site. I was the only dissenting voice saying we should not go anywhere but stay where we were with the tradition we had through the 1800s and 1900s for education and everything else.
