John McGuinness: We must have the information on the inquires that were made and how the rent compares to other properties at that location. This also formed part of Mr. Guiomard's reply to a previous question as to why the commission is not based at Dublin Airport. It cannot move to the airport because of the 25-year lease. Did the commission consider locating at the airport when it was being created?

I passed through the building a number of times recently and I was taken aback because it was almost vacant.
