Mr. Noel Waters:

We are completely out of it. Our best estimate was to walk away from it. It is quite counter-intuitive. I came into this on my appointment about two and a half or three years ago. I found it incredible because we had done nothing wrong as a State organisation and the other side had clearly done something. It is a matter of legal opinion about whether or not it was a mis-statement but we found ourselves on the wrong side of this, which was completely counter-intuitive. My initial reaction was to ask if we could find an alternative use. At that point, I looked within the organisation to see if we could find some other body within the organisation that would take up the accommodation. Ultimately, it did not come to anything. We had a number of new bodies about to be established but it did not suit for one reason or another.
