That is an awful lot of fit-out. I speak as somebody who has fitted many places out. There is a tonne of fit-out in €1.068 million. Did the Department rip the fittings out and sell them on? Normally when one takes on a lease, one returns the property in the condition in which one got it. What happened here? Did the Department clear the fittings out and put them in a skip? Was there any attempt to recoup value from the fit-out, or was there any attempt to recoup some of the money by cutting a deal with the lessor? In the real world, a deal would be struck on the fit-out. If a vacant building with bare concrete walls is bought, and air conditioning and floorboards are added, some sort of arrangement would be made whereby this would be reflected in the price. What happened with the fit-out? I am shocked by that particular figure.

Was the figure of €1 million in rent a settlement?
