Mr. Denis Maher:

Aasleagh Lodge is in the ownership of IFI. It is not under the Department's ownership. Our function at the time was, and remains, in regard to any sanctions that may be required from the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform, to acquire the lodge. When the board decided to put the lodge up for sale, I secured the agreement of the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform for the sale. The board then changed its mind.
