Ms Clare McGrath:
They would acquire that site at a discount. We are giving effect to a property register from all public property owners in respect of all State property. People will be able to identify assets that are surplus. That could be assets of property for disposal but it could be that they have surplus accommodation in their building available for somebody else to come and occupy. It is about sharing and co-ordination. We are also putting in place a property manager's network across State property owners in which they will share knowledge and there will be a better exchange of information on property assets so that we can maximise the use and disposal of assets for the benefit of the taxpayer.
