Public Accounts Committee

Forfás Annual Accounts 2012

10:35 am

Mr. Martin D. Shanahan:

That is my understanding but we can check that and see if there is information available. It passed to Forfás on foot of the restructuring of the enterprise agencies in 1994. It was fully let until 2008. We had a significant tenant that occupied many floors of the building. The tenant left in 2008. The committee has highlighted the fact that we have had significant difficulties in finding a replacement tenant since that period and the Comptroller and Auditor General has rightly pointed to non-effective expenditure in this regard as well.
