I will respond to a number of the points made by the Deputy. I appreciate why he has raised this issue. We all have the objective of trying to increase employment and jobs in our communities and constituencies. This is clearly what is motivating the Deputy. I have been informed that a number of attempts were made to agree a jointly acceptable valuation of the property but these have not yet concluded successfully. I have also been informed in preparation for this debate that meetings and engagement have taken place between the tenants and current owners and landlords of the property regarding what will happen the facility to try to allay any concerns employers or tenants might have about its development. A process has taken place, I have been informed, on looking to agree a valuation of the property. I have been informed meetings have taken place and a process has taken place between the tenants and the owners of the property.
