It is all very cumbersome. Mr. Griffin will write to somebody in the OPW which will write to the Valuation Office and it will be put out to tender. Knight Frank might value it at €2 million and we will have spent €10,000 to get that valuation. Where is the joined-up thinking and when will we use a little common sense to pull things together? There are two valuable capital assets that belong to the State, but their value is not being reflected in the accounts. It is stated no valuation was available. Do we have to go through the lengthy process I have just mentioned or why will IFI not go to Rooney's in Galway and whoever else in County Donegal to get a valuation? That would lead to us having accurate information for the people.
