Public Accounts Committee

Special Report No. 77 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Dublin Docklands Development Authority (Resumed)

3:40 pm

Mr. Lar Bradshaw:

Enda Connellan was the chief executive of the Dublin Port Company and he sat on the council of the authority. My recollection is that we had a meeting with him to discuss whether the port would be interested, where were they at, what was the situation and would they be interested in us mediating. The other thing that is clear from this is we gave up any hope of ever buying the site, given this discussion here, and we felt the key role we could play at this point was to mediate.
