Mr. Bernard Gloster:

I believe so, yes. All of the information available to me on Baggot Street is as follows. The LDA was aware that we had no strategic use for it and were thinking of moving it on, Dublin City Council similarly and so on. Since the end of 2022, we have disposed of 53 or 54 properties. We have disposed of them to other State bodies. I would say we are one of the better State agencies for ensuring that when we are disposing, we give other State agencies a chance. Baggot Street has been up on the register as surplus to our requirements since mid-2024. We cannot continue to carry the risk of an empty building and the cost of security and maintaining it. We put it on the open market. Regardless of what the view might be of the engagement with LDA or DCC or anybody else, if any State agency wants to write to me today and express a strategic interest in procuring that building, we will take it off the market.
