I propose to take Questions Nos. 1427 and 1474 together.

My Department executed the contracts of sale on 15 August 2008. The contracts and moneys were transferred to the Chief State Solicitor's Office (CSSO) on 22 August 2008 for closing procedures. However, on 5 September, the vendor's solicitor notified the CSSO that the vendor has additional bogland. A folio showing this was very recently received by the CSSO. This must now be examined in relation to the vendor's entitlement to an incentive bonus, and the CSSO is writing to the vendor's solicitor in this regard.
