Question:

73 Mr. Quinn asked the Taoiseach the progress, if any, made with regard to the promised establishment of a formal system to ensure that a proportion of any profits of the Messiah XXI production company, which received a substantial grant from the National Millennium Committee, should go directly to a charity or charitable trust.

The Taoiseach:

The promoters of Messiah XXI have agreed that a proportion of the net profits should go directly to a charity or a charitable trust.

A meeting is to be held in the near future with the Messiah XXI production company in consultation with the National Millennium Committee to discuss the establishment of a formal system of donating such profits.
