With regard to proper due diligence on the part of the Department - it was the communications Department at the time - if there were going to be difficulties with the sale, it would be normal practice to draw up an agreement to the effect that rent would be charged at a reduced rate until the sale was completed. I think it is a legitimate question.
Am I correct in my understanding that €2 million is due in rental income in terms of debtors? Is €2 million outstanding in rent? Some €2 million in rent was billed retrospectively by the Department.
