Public Accounts Committee

2018 Financial Statements of An Bord Pleanála

9:00 am

Mr. Gerard Egan:

In the discussions with the landlord, we found that the negotiations worked out very well for us. We have the main building but we also took on what were two empty retail units on the ground floor of the building.

They had been lying vacant for a number of years and we got a very attractive offer from the landlord to take those retail units into the building at a much reduced rent for those floor areas. Those areas are used primarily for the public. As we have increased the space for the reception area and the meeting rooms, we were quite satisfied that this was a very good deal and improved our customer service to members of the public coming into our offices.
