Suddenly, three days later this was changed. Is Dr. Wall aware that this came before the governance board three days after UL submitted the application to the HEA? I am reliably informed that the board was told the deal had to be done by that evening. It appears that most members of the board were not aware of the Dunnes Stores site. As far as they were concerned, they had assembled to discuss the opera house site and other matters and they were told a decision had to be made that day because the owner of the site, Margaret Heffernan, would not wait beyond that evening. Was Dr. Wall aware of that?
