Am I correct in saying that a former person who held a consultancy role for the university told the university that this was the price, and that person negotiated solely with Dunnes Stores. I ask Professor Mey to confirm whether that is the situation. I am seeking a "Yes" or "No" answer. That person who was a consultant working on behalf of the university did the fixing on this and went to the university with a price, which was €5.3 million over the price valued by Limerick City Council.
