The Gaiety has many possible futures. Should it:

Continue to trade under private ownership, with weekend clubbing helping to pay and a theatre programme made up of commercial and Arts Council-subsidised shows, and with responsibility for the building entirely the responsibility of its owners?

Remain in private hands, but receive a large cash injection from the State to refurbish the building, maintain it, and make it suitable for opera and large theatre shows?

Remain in private hands, but receive a large cash injection from the State for the refurbishment of the interior, administered by a special trust, with a guarantee of a pay-back for the State if the theatre is sold?

Remain in private hands, but receive a £500,000 cash injection from the Millennium Committee, designated for the refurbishment of the front of house area, and with legal guarantees including representation for the Arts Council and the OPW on the board (the Gaiety doesn't have a board)?

Be bought by the State?
