We can all be critical of RTÉ from time to time but I congratulate the station on its programme on Brendan Grace broadcast on Monday night. It was a fantastic show and goes to show that RTÉ can make great programmes. It brought people as well as Brendan Grace centre stage who were suffering from dementia, and made them the centrepiece at the Olympia Theatre. It was a fantastic programme with a huge audience. RTÉ can do magnificent work and I congratulate it on this occasion.

Great work has been done on the restoration of Leinster House. However, I wonder about some pieces that were hanging in various places around the house. Will they be returned or will they be placed in other areas of the House? I refer in particular to the American flag, presented by the late President John F. Kennedy in 1963 which appears to be missing, or at least, is not in the place were it was. A painting of Countess Markievicz hung on the stairway -----
