Written Answers. - Abbey Theatre.
The Government has approved the invitation of expressions of interest from the private sector in participating on the basis of a public private partnership in the redevelopment of the Abbey Theatre at its existing location. My Department, with the Department of Finance and the Office of Public Works, is working to implement that decision. The Office of Public Works has received a report from property consultants engaged to assess the property acquisition issues arising in this context. The report is now being considered.
