The Commissioners of Public Works acting on behalf of the Reception and Integration Agency of the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform purchased Broc House in June 2000 for €9,205,601. The breakdown of costs for security and maintenance for Broc House incurred by the State up to 25 October 2005 is detailed below. The transfer of Broc House to the Affordable Housing Partnership is under way. The terms of the transfer agreement provide that in the event that the local authority realises a surplus, the same should be distributed by the local authority. This means that 65% of the surplus shall be paid to the Minister to be used as part of the affordable housing initiative and 35% of the surplus shall be paid to the transferer. The purchase of the property was handled by the Office of the Chief State Solicitor and no agent's charges were incurred.
