To be honest with Mr. Conlon, I am still struggling to get my head around how a charitable organisation can have its foot on the throat of the State for something like this. I wish the people in my area were as powerful as this charitable group when it comes to the Castletown House lands where €25 million has been put into a wonderful facility that people cannot access now. I find it very difficult to figure it out. A charitable group brought the OPW to a situation where it had a binding obligation. I have never come across anything like that before. Did the OPW sign the legal obligation? If so, who in the OPW signed it, and on whose authority?
