Seán Fleming: I note a parliamentary question was asked on 23 November 2017 by Deputy Eamon Ryan on this issue.

Chapter 6: Lease of Offices at Miesian Plaza (11 Oct 2018)

Seán Fleming: Given it is so vague and there seems to be a legal commitment with some people because Mr. Buckley would not have gone through the planning process unless he felt it was necessary to do so.

Is there...

Seán Fleming: I am sure from their perspective, they feel if they get off the pitch, it will be dead. It seems to me they are the only ones pushing it. They pushed the OPW to get planning. They pushed it to An Bord Pleanála. It looks as though if they were not on the pitch, we would not even be talking about it.

I want to thank the witnesses from the OPW and the Comptroller and Auditor General for their attendance today and for the material provided.
