Dublin Docklands Development Authority: Annual Report and Financial Statements
(26 Mar 2015)

Joe Costello: I am sure everyone around the table here would love to buy that property, which must be worth nearly €5 million at present. It is the site which is valuable and not the piece of property itself, which is an old warehouse. However, no one had the option. It was not public knowledge. No one was offered it.
