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

Mr. John Crawley:

I can only comment on the numbers since we acquired the vessel. What is influencing the valuation at present is the fact that it is not seaworthy in terms of being operated as a sail training ship, which was the original plan. If some money was spent on bringing it up to sail training standard, then obviously the value would be significantly higher. However, the costs involved are prohibitive.
