Public Accounts Committee

2013 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Dublin Docklands Development Authority: Annual Report and Financial Statements

10:00 am

Mr. John Crawley:

We took the view that in the round given that we had indicated that we were going to CPO No. 18 - which is the property next door to No. 16 - we would have been obliged to provide accommodation for them elsewhere, which would have cost us money and we were not in a position to do that.

They were willing to buy the property from us on a pure, open market basis set by two professional valuers.
