It is for the purposes of the Courts Service. A three-card trick has been used to get out of the €700,000 vacant site levy and the Courts Service is the beneficiary. I do not think that looks good and a standard developer would not be able to do that. A €700,000 vacant site levy would bank €140 million in borrowings. If it is not GDPR, commercial sensitivity is used as an excuse not to answer. Can Ms Denning tell us how much they are paying Sisk?
