I propose to take Questions Nos. 113 and 114 together.

An independent report on the damage to the National Aquatic Centre was commissioned by the Office of Public Works, at the request of my Department and in consultation with Campus and Stadium Ireland Development Limited, CSID. The report was prepared by Kavanagh Mansfield and Partners, Consulting Structural and Civil Engineers. There are legal, contractual and financial issues that must be considered in light of the report and, therefore, it must remain confidential at this time. I can assure the Deputy that the findings of the report have been fully taken into consideration by CSID and the contractors in the context of the repair works which is currently under way. This work is scheduled for completion by 20 May 2005. The Office of Public Works has made a payment of €17,588.50 in respect of the report.
