There is a fine line between protecting and not protecting public moneys. The reason we have criteria such as those surrounding lease arrangements is to ensure we do not put public moneys into facilities that could later be sold or discarded. That is something we are trying to ensure. The question is where does one draw the line. We are open to reviewing all of these factors and I am happy to pass that example back to the officials within the Department to examine the specific circumstances to see if we can do things better in the next programme.
