Mr. Brendan McDonagh:

Again, off the top of my head I remember it was 2015. My understanding is that the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sports and Media had identified these houses as being the most historically significant. They were the ones they wanted to buy. We arranged for them to engage with the debtor at the time. They did buy them - the ones that they wanted.
