I want to compliment the Minister on that answer. I asked the Minister for Finance a question on the same lines regarding the Abbey Theatre and he told me to go and look it up in the Dáil Library. I think it is a good thing that a Minister will give a reply in the form of a tabular statement and that it will appear on the record of the House.
It is available elsewhere.
