John Gormley (Dublin South East, Green Party)

If the Deputy is taking about the whole Becbay consortium, I have mentioned the people who are involved, be it Mr. Bernard McNamara or Mr. Derek Quinlan, and prominent names are also involved in the famous Mountbrook case. Some of these people have made a pretty penny but, likewise, some of them are now going through court proceedings, as the Deputy knows, and facing a very tight financial situation. Like many people, they gambled and it did not work out, and there has been a major loss on that site.

With regard to that Becbay site and particularly in regard to the involvement of Mr. McNamara, I have to be careful, as Minister, because that is going through the courts at present.
