Michael D'Arcy (Wexford, Fine Gael)

Some 8.7 extra acres have been purchased for little more than €1 million, in the region of €130,000 or €140,000 per acre. How many acres does the original site comprise? When one compares the figures for adjoining lands at €130,000 or €140,000 per acre to the original purchase price, something does not add up. One figure that jumps out is €5.25 million for professional fees, which seems outlandish, without a brick having been laid on the site.
