I thank Mr. Kelly. There was a brief moment earlier when many Deputies weighed in on the issue of land. Mr. Nugent opened that door, whether intentionally or otherwise I do not know. When we were talking about the farm, Mr. Nugent used the word "transfer" in relation to, presumably, Office of Public Works, OPW, purchased land. The Commissioner mentioned at the beginning of this discussion that rents were paid directly to, I think, the OPW, but that stopped and they ended in the various entities within Templemore. Mr. Nugent said that happened to "some" rather than "all" the lands. I am not specifically referring to the farm. In regard to Sports Field Company Limited land, it was stated that the members of that company wish to divest themselves of the ownership of land. Does that include all lands - as I said, I am not just referring to the farm - included in the limited entity that is the Sports Field company?
