We must question - that is our role. A building on Wolfe Tone Street was costing €300,000 to rent. Fitting it out and putting the lease in place cost a further €2 million. Did a building on Parnell Street in relatively the same area - I do not know Dublin inner city, but I assume that they are side by side - suddenly become available for one seventh of the rent? Beyond the planning issue, was this good value for the taxpayer?
