Amharc ar fhreagraThe Contract for Sale has not been completed in respect of this transaction. Accordingly, it is deemed to be commercially sensitive and it would not be appropriate to publish the draft terms at this stage. Further consideration of the matter will take place when the Government has completed its review of the Decentralisation Programme in 2011.
