I remind the Member that TEO was not involved in funding the museum. Obviously, the Gasyard is different, and we are proud of that investment. There has been a lot of public commentary on the museum. Whilst we are not responsible for the content, TEO contracted Ulster University to provide additional assurance on the information that was shared in the content steering group and the development of the museum narrative. Ulster University and the National Lottery Heritage Fund confirmed that they were content that that had been met prior to construction works commencing. Like with all these things, it is much better to try to resolve them in a conversation as opposed to megaphone diplomacy.
