No reason why government shouldn’t hive off its entire estate into a holding company, held by the NI and Public Service pension funds and then rent back That’s a bloody good idea. Move all the dead assets in and book all the future realized profits or rental income against the pension funds. Would also focus them on making profits or real returns not giving assets away for basically nothing.

It was leaked, apparently. The Gov then followed up with a press release. Quayle then got his shit together and did some interviews. Any politician will want to bask in a bit of shine from something like this. Edited February 16, 2018 by guzzi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard a sniff that they are certainly easing the path of the development and making it possible, but isn't that what they are there for? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Wright Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 It was on MR because Councillor Christian made a comment. Quayle got involved because government own the land. They'll be either selling or leasing the land to the developer. This is a project that has been pushed for since early 1990’s, development of the old bus station site. There have been many previous potential projects, announced, discussed, publicised and then collapsed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-Believer Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 If Howard's confident..... Personally, I really hope this is a success after so many false starts, it's got to be better than the open sore that it's been since the demolition of the bus station. I just hope that the people who have done the sums and crunched the numbers took no notice of any shite supplied by DED/DFE/Skelly/Corlett etc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
