Ceist:11 Mr. Higgins (Dublin West) asked the Taoiseach when the legal agreement between a person (details supplied) and the State regarding the national sports stadium will be laid before Dáil Éireann. [6203/00]
Written Answers. - National Sports Stadium.
The private donation of £50 million from Mr. J. P. McManus towards the financing and development of Campus and Stadium Ireland has been given effect by way of a letter of assignation between Pictet & Cie, Geneva, the "Bank", and the Department of the Taoiseach, the "Beneficiary". The document was laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas on 25 February 2000.
I take this opportunity to place on record the Government's appreciation of Mr. McManus's most generous donation.
