2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works
Chapter 6: Lease of Offices at Miesian Plaza
9:00 am
Mr. Maurice Buckley:
We would have considered the purchase option at the time. It is a combination of what is available on the market. At that time in Dublin - it is still is the case - most office buildings being built are pre-let. One would need to start with the developer almost before the developer starts the project. At the time, no such opportunity seemed to be presenting itself.
Even if it had, it is always a balance of what available funding is there. It is a difficult debate-----
