Mr. Simon McGarr:

The State does have an option and there are mirror options between the State and the landlord where it could seek to buy out the freehold, but those only happen primarily in the event of the insolvency of the St. Vincent's Healthcare Group. It is not permitted for a change of national policy, for example. The Minister was in with the committee yesterday and I am aware that he was concerned about the trust the St. Vincent's Healthcare Group would have to have with regard to the State's intentions. I believe the paperwork is intended to ensure that once this deal is done, it is an irrevocable deal to deliver a national maternity hospital with obstetrics and gynaecological services, and that this is the nature of the usage this building will be put to, with the exception of the reserved landlord areas, the example given being dermatology, within the building. These are the restrictions put on it. To demise it, it is triggered only by insolvency, primarily.
