Mr. Donal O'Raghallaigh:

It depends. A charity cannot just give away property willy-nilly; that is for sure. There is a consideration process on the disposal of land, whether that is by lease or by freehold, in relation to the purpose to which the land would be put. Another consideration for the board is how it insures land, and what impact that has on its own assets that it needs to run the hospitals for charitable purposes.
