Mr. Martin Bourke:

That is a good question. It tends to be the circumstances of the particular property, and without me having the absolute detail in front of me I suggest that quite a number of properties sold by private treaty related to residences attached to Garda stations. Often, a former member of the Garda Síochána was already resident there and possibly had been there for many years. There is an almost moral obligation not to put out these people, but they would still have to pay the market value, as independently valued by a body such as the Valuation Office. Often this is the reason. It is that somebody is already in the house, and we cannot really get involved in an eviction situation as it would not be right.
