Ms Moylan has said the figure varied. The letter including the figure of €220 million was dated 12 October. I will get to the minutes of the meeting of 24 October in a moment. The letter to the Department mentions a figure of €220 million, but the board discussed a figure as high as €375 million. The value did not vary by that much. There was no change in plot density and commercial value in the weeks from when the letter issued to the Department to when the discussion took place. Why was Mr. Moloney writing to Ms Moylan with a figure of €220 million when the board was discussing a figure of up to €375 million? Given that the letter had been sent to Ms Moylan, did she ask why there was such a discrepancy? The issue of ministerial consent is separate.
