Mr. Paul Maloney:

My riding instructions were to explore the possibility of us purchasing the site in a joint venture. As I said in my statement, that was done as the purchase of this site had been on the agenda for quite some time because the site beside it had been bid upon by the authority in 1997, before I joined. The authority had failed to achieve that site. It had always earmarked the purchase in this area and its master plan had earmarked this site as a development. So my riding instructions were simply to do nothing but explore the possibility.
