I know.
I will briefly revert to the Castletown House issue. Did I pick Mr. Moloney up correctly that the OPW sought to purchase the house, held negotiations with the landowner and came to the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform with an amount, but the Department said it would be too expensive? The OPW then undertook a business case, which it sent to the Department. Is that how it happened?
