I will raise that and particularly the issues it raised with the Deputy about some of the changes it needs. I am happy to revert in writing.

On Deputy Barry’s question, yes, I would encourage a company to take seriously the recommendations and findings of an OECD body and a national contact point as well. I will make inquiries with the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment on the issue regarding the company that he highlighted.

On Deputy Boyd Barrett’s issue, I do not want to repeat points I made here earlier but the land for the DIT buildings was always land that was in the ownership of DIT rather than in the direct ownership of the Government. Legislation was passed in this House, the Grangegorman Development Agency Act 2005, under which it was understood that the purpose of the disposal of that land was to fund the work at Grangegorman. The Land Development Agency confirmed in writing that it had no wish to acquire that site.
