Public Accounts Committee

2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 26 - Education and Skills

9:00 am

Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

This is a real challenge area. Our policy was that we did not want to purchase those schools because we felt that we had already invested in them. We have had some co-operation and in some cases, a minimal amount of money could be paid for a long-term lease. That is our preferred approach and we are seeking to advance that in our discussions. We cannot buy back schools that we already partially own but even schools where we only have a small ownership, our preferred position is not to have to buy them back.
