Dr. Seán Brady:

It was 2017. I then notified the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. The Department drew my attention to the circular from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. It requested me to allow the Department of Education and Skills to take a look at the site. I was informed by that Department that it would do a valuation of the property. We facilitated that. We allowed it to examine the site. It visited the site on one occasion with the chief financial officer, Mr. Murnane, and me. Eventually, they made an offer for the property on 2 May.
