The refusal of the landlord of the Department of Health to discuss a €10m rental overpayment by video conference has been dismissed as “farcical” and “a joke” at an Oireachtas committee.

Remley Developments, the landlord of Miesian Plaza in Dublin, informed the Office of Public Works, the building’s tenant, in late March that while it wishes to “engage constructively” regarding the overpayment, its preference is to have “a further face to face meeting once this is permissible under Covid-19 restrictions”.
