Catherine Murphy: I have a few points I want to go through. On the issue of Thornton Hall, €30 million was spent on the site itself and an additional €20 million was spent on services such as roads, water etc., so it may well be a strategic asset but it is a pretty expensive one.

Catherine Murphy: I ask Ms McCaffrey to provide that to us. I understand that there is no current investigation relating to the mess committees, and an issue was certainly flagged in a high-profile protected disclosure that is now closed and in the Comptroller and Auditor General's report.
