We can look at everything. One of the things we have been doing in the OPW is that we have exhausted local authorities, community groups, Departments and bodies such as the HSE. I served on the Committee of Public Accounts, as did Deputy Doherty. One of the things we cannot do is dispose of State assets for anything above the market value. If we were to do that, no doubt somebody else would be writing a report about it. Deputy Doherty would probably be the first person to be very critical of me for doing that. What we must do is get market value.
