I thank the Senator for his comments. As stated, there has been engagement . We would like the community groups to come forward with more details on how they propose to use the building, and how they would fund any development and continued maintenance of the property. I ask that they contact our offices immediately in order that we can consider the matter again. The OPW wants assets to be used by community groups. Obviously, in terms of looking as this matter holistically from the point of view of the Exchequer, the process and so forth, there are certain criteria that we need to work through. We will wait for the community groups to come back to us.
