Public Accounts Committee

Bord na gCon: Financial Statements 2015 (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. Michael Murnane:

I can answer that question. The Department of Education and Skills was the only party that walked the site in 2016. The site was not up for sale or anything of the sort. During that timeframe, Bord na gCon was exploring the option of getting the stadium rezoned for alternative uses. The Department approached us and asked if its representatives could look at the site and walk through the stadium. I think they did that on Monday. I was there the morning on which they were there.
