Mr. Adrian Neilan:

When the Deputy asked earlier when I joined the organisation, I told him I became chief executive of the organisation at the end of January 2011. This issue of the site in Melleek has been the subject of a C&AG report already. It has been already communicated that that site, unfortunately, was bought despite it having no road access or services. Development of that site was also qualified by Clare County Council as being premature. We tried to progress the matter, in terms of whether we could develop there, but it could not be developed unless we got involved with local land owners, which would have resulted in a cost significantly higher than what we proposed to spend. We had no choice but to move from it. This has been already detailed in numerous reports. We have borne the legacy of that and have written that debt down and taken the charge on to us.
