We are having to give something to the private sector in O'Devaney Gardens. We discussed this with the Minister the other day. In terms of the planned sites which are publicly owned, in order to get a small bit back we are having to give away a public asset, and the revenue generating potential of that public asset, because of the constraints the Minister is willing to accept, or possibly because of an ideological predisposition. That is bad economics.
