I understand the state aid rules in respect of a private entity that intends to invest in an area within two years. The point I am making is that a private entity was allowed to occupy a space, so to speak, which then made it next to impossible to design a contract, obtain value for money or put in place a viable project to roll out this project and operate and maintain it for 25 years. If there is document in the Department indicating that the Government contested this with the European Commission, I and many other people would like to see it.
