We know there is a lease arrangement for 299 years. That is not contested, but we cannot then credibly argue that the State owns the land. The group owns the land. It could gift the land in its entirety to the State, which would remove the need for all the companies that have to be set up. It would enable the HSE to build a HSE hospital on the land.

If other clinicians could not shake their heads when witnesses are speaking, it might be helpful.
