Chapter 15: Lease of Accommodation for a Probation Service Project (21 Mar 2013) Derek Nolan: Again, I understand the point Ms Creedon is making about compellability but my simple point is that the Chief State Solicitor has quoted an Act that does not apply in this instance because we have not compelled her. We have invited her in her function as an Accounting Officer for the Chief State Solicitor's office.

Chapter 15: Lease of Accommodation for a Probation Service Project (21 Mar 2013) Derek Nolan: I want to ask Ms Creedon some questions based on chapter 15 of the Comptroller and Auditor General's report. The first question does not relate to the planning issue. I suppose it does relate to planning but it concerns car parking spaces. Paragraph 15.10 concerns how the Chief State Solicitor's office raised planning concerns about eight car parking spaces for use by the Bridge Project....

Chapter 15: Lease of Accommodation for a Probation Service Project (21 Mar 2013) Derek Nolan: I am conscious that Ms Creedon refused to answer the first question I asked so I am not sure how to proceed. I thought I was touching on a topic that was not central to the litigation. I can ask some general questions but they are all in the chapter. What I want to understand is why we have the problem. There are suggestions in this chapter and the Comptroller and Auditor General's report...

Chapter 15: Lease of Accommodation for a Probation Service Project (21 Mar 2013) Derek Nolan: I have a question that will not cause any problems from that perspective.

Alternative accommodation was sought and a lease with a payment of approximately €300,000 per year was entered into. When that lease did not work out, the project moved to a premises in Gardiner...

Chapter 15: Lease of Accommodation for a Probation Service Project (21 Mar 2013) Derek Nolan: Yes. The Wolfe Tone Street premises was to cost approximately €300,000 a year. Currently, the project is being housed at premises costing €10,000 a year. There is a huge difference. Was it prudent and sound to enter into a €300,000 lease when the project is functioning adequately from a premises costing €10,000 per year?

Chapter 15: Lease of Accommodation for a Probation Service Project (21 Mar 2013) Derek Nolan: I do not think Dublin rents have dropped by 70% to 80% since the end of the boom, but the figure was €300,000 for premises. I accept that rents have dropped but not to the extent that €45,000 is enough.
