I mention the list that was referred to. It is an appendix to the accounts on the lands the Department owns. I agree with it. It is great that a State agency owns land. It is set out on pages 40 and 41 where the land is in the various counties. The properties range from 1,000 ha to less than 1 acre. It is a huge range of properties, with which I am delighted. I am delighted that we have property options. How are they managed? For instance, I know that in Galway security firms tell me that they are not involved in managing them. Are there management teams? Are there private companies managing the properties, or is the Department managing them directly?
