It is frustrating given there is such a vast sum of money at stake. Then, we hear the lease was in the name of the Minister and that there was a 60 day fit-out. None of it makes sense. The committee needs to know who the leaseholder was and who was acting on behalf of the leaseholder.
I gather Ms McPhillips said this morning that the Chief State Solicitor carried out due diligence. It seems like the most basic thing someone would check is whether there was valid planning permission.
