Marc MacSharry: The irony is that the purchaser was also the Department of Education and Skills.
- Public Accounts Committee: Bord na gCon: Financial Statements 2015 (Resumed) (18 May 2017)
Marc MacSharry: I suggest to the Chairman that we should bring in representatives of the Department of Education and Skills to talk about the purchase price of that particular site but also this one, because as an auctioneer and not having viewed the site, and I know Dr. Brady cannot give the Savills valuation, I believe the current value of the six acres at Harold's Cross, with its current zoning, is...
- Public Accounts Committee: Bord na gCon: Financial Statements 2015 (Resumed) (18 May 2017)
Marc MacSharry: Everything is agreed at €23 million or nothing is agreed. It is not staggered in that Bord na gCon will get €13 million and the other €10 million later.

Marc MacSharry: -----because it is a multiple of what it is worth. When we consider that we are not long finished with Project Eagle, this would seem to indicate that between Rehab and this particular purchase, we are overpaying. That is something that needs to be noted. I imagine the board would be very happy with €23 million, and I would suspect that the Savills valuation, which is naturally...
- Public Accounts Committee: Bord na gCon: Financial Statements 2015 (Resumed) (18 May 2017)
Marc MacSharry: I will put it another way. If I bought a combine harvester, borrowed €250,000 from, say, a finance company and I defaulted on those loans, if I was selling, with the finance company's consent, and got €250,000, in Mr. Creed's professional opinion, what is the likelihood that it might accept €180,000?
- Public Accounts Committee: Bord na gCon: Financial Statements 2015 (Resumed) (18 May 2017)
Marc MacSharry: It is unlikely. In terms of natural fairness and justice, why should Bord na gCon get a write-down?

Marc MacSharry: If I ring the centre in Thurles to book a table in the Sportsground in Galway for a Friday night and they say that is not a problem, what do they do then? Do they ring the people in Galway?
- Public Accounts Committee: Bord na gCon: Financial Statements 2015 (Resumed) (18 May 2017)
