I second the proposal from Senator P. J. Murphy that we deal with No. 12 before dealing with No. 1 on the Order Paper.

I welcome the news announced yesterday that the Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport, Deputy O'Donovan, brought a memo to the Cabinet yesterday in relation to the repurposing of the former International Rugby Experience museum on O'Connell Street in Limerick city.

This is an award-winning building. It was built out of the generosity of the McManus family and was gifted to the State. At the time, it was proposed that Limerick City and County Council would take over the building but it was not in a position to do so. I welcome the fact that the Minister has decided to bring it under the auspices of the National Museum of Ireland. Currently, there are four different places for the museum. There are three in Dublin and one in Mayo. This will be the fifth once the plan is put in place. It is going to be a museum to acknowledge the achievements of women, and it will be the first in the country to do this. According to the Minister and the Department, women have not been acknowledged over many years for different achievements, so the plan is that this will be a national museum dedicated to the lives of women. However, it will also be a tourist attraction along the Three Bridges Walk around the city. Limerick is synonymous with the Three Bridges Walk. Many people come and visit different cultural attractions as well. There is a ticket people can get for going to different attractions, be it King John's Castle or the Hunt Museum, and this will now be a welcome addition to Limerick city and the cultural tourist trail.
