Dublin Docklands Development Authority: Annual Report and Financial Statements

Mr. John Crawley:
There were some related issues to this development. This was a property that was on a strip of other properties that were subject to some compulsory purchase orders. We had it in our mind at the time that those properties would all be acquired and levelled and a borderwalk-boulevard created. That was not proceeded with because the authority ran out of funds to continue any development in or around that time. Part of the CPO transaction at that point in time was that we were going to rehouse the people in the property. However, we were not in a position to do that.
