Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2017 (17 Oct 2019)

Seán Fleming: We are happy to see it moving. In fairness to Mr. Ó Foghlú, he refers to a number of meetings he held on 24 May at which he met various parties. That was a busy day for him but it is achieving results and I want to put that on the record. Finally, I want to put on record information regarding cash contributions. Again, I am reading from the aforementioned letter, which says...

Seán Fleming: I ask Mr. Ó hAonghusa to send us a note on the four properties in question

Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2017 (17 Oct 2019)

Seán Fleming: We want to know the original offer, the cash offer and the reason for the rejection. One property is in my area and I suspect there were issues around title deeds, which meant the transfer could not be done.

Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2017 (17 Oct 2019)

Seán Fleming: Has that gone in under the cash contributions instead of under property?

Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2017 (17 Oct 2019)

Seán Fleming: It was extra cash in lieu of property but was not part of Caranua's funding.

They probably dropped off the list because they went for cash but we would like to complete the picture. I wish the Department the very best in completing that work. It will be good to get...

However, in the event that we do have a deal this week, next week or whenever in the...
