The sale of the college to which the Deputy refers in October 1989 and the subsequent sale in June 1990 were private sales and as such, my Department has no details of the sale arrangements. Records within my Department indicate that the college was sold in October 1989 to Davmac Developments Limited. The first interim report of February 1992 on the 1990 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General into this matter stated "the property was sold to a private developer in June 1990 for a sum reputedly in the range of £6.25 million, or €7.94 million, to £6.5 million, or €8.25 million".
