I do not believe the Department has given us the information we requested. That is my assessment. I get very frustrated with the Department of Education and Skills because that seems to be its modus operandi. The answer we got is not sufficient at any level. We asked the Department how the valuation was arrived at. The response we got was that was what the Valuation Office arrived at, but no rationale behind it. We know it arrived at that figure, but wanted to know the reason for it. We wanted to know how it arrived at the €23 million figure which seemed to coincide with the Irish Greyhound Board debt. As the reply is not sufficient, we should go back to him and say he is stating the obvious, but that is not what we asked.
