I invite Mr. Purcell to read the Comptroller and Auditor General's report on the various properties the Department purchased or entered into leases on since 2000 and then come back and discuss being cavalier. Some of the properties were then off-loaded for small amounts to the OPW or the HSE. There are examples of that throughout the country and bearing that in mind, the recent discussion we had with the Chief State Solicitor's office and now the Department on this property, it all goes to show that the Department could manage its affairs better.
