Catherine Connolly: With regard to that, Foras na Gaeilge was, unfortunately, a name that came up this morning as a body that had not replied following the letters that went out in December. The Chair of this committee wrote to all public bodies in December. Some 75% of the bodies wrote back and acknowledged the letter. I am afraid Foras na Gaeilge was one that jumped out in that it had not acknowledged the...

Catherine Connolly: Níl mé ag iarraidh am a chur amú. Gabh mo leithscéal, níl an locht ar an bhForas, ach tá mise faoi bhrú ama, agus an t-aon rud atá ag teastáil uaimse ná freagraí maidir le ceisteanna díreacha. Tá an cúlra agam. Cad iad na costais atá i gceist ó thaobh an bogadh de agus ó thaobh na cíosa de?

Catherine Connolly: I have all that. When the business case for the move was made a figure was given. In response to a question I asked in September the total relocation costs were put at €412,365. Is é €412,365 an costas iomlán a eascraíonn as athlonnú Fhoras na Gaeilge go dtí ceanncheathrú nua ar Sráid Amiens. Níl mé ag iarraidh. I am not trying...

Catherine Connolly: There were also huge moving costs. The building Foras na Gaeilge moved into, costing enormous rent - some €593,000 - had cost the previous tenant just over €100,000 a year in rent. Is that correct?

Catherine Connolly: I agree with the witness and I will let him give all those explanations, subject to the Acting Chairman. I want to establish facts here. Foras na Gaeilge moved from two buildings into a premises on Amiens Street. In addition Áisíneacht Dáileacháin Leabhar, ÁIS, moved to Dunshaughlin. Those movements involved cost. It moved into a premises where the previous...

Catherine Connolly: I want explanations for this. I came from this as a person ar an gcoiste, a bhí buartha faoi costais maidir le cíos. An smaoineamh agus an coincheap atá agamsa ná go mbeadh sé i bhfad níos éifeachtaí morgáiste a bheith ag an bhForas. I believe Foras na Gaeilge should have a mortgage on the building, which is what lead me to look at this in the...

Catherine Connolly: Tuigim é sin, an ceist ná, what monitoring was in place? What was the oversight process the Department had in place in terms of this building? When did the Department become aware there were two agreements? When did it become aware that one agreement was for rent and one tied the refurbishment costs into the rent? I heard the Department say that it wants to learn. Creidim go...
