That is right with regard to the number of units, but I am referring to the highest number of units with the maximum return to the council. That internal valuation was €2 million higher than the valuation provided by Rooney Auctioneers and Chartered Surveyors, which is a very reputable and well-known valuer in Galway that does good work. They provided a valuation for the vendor who, presumably seeking to maximise his own personal return for his investment, had a valuation done, let us call it valuation "x". The council's internal valuation - and it was a matter of months before the most recent transaction on those lands - was €2 million higher. Would this be a matter of concern for the Department?
