The government has still not explained how a prime site held by Go plc has not been returned to the State in line with an understanding reached when Go was sold to Tecom, the MLP said today.

It noted that at the Go annual general meeting last Friday, company chairman Sonny Portelli said that there was no issue over this site with the government because this site was company property and would be used when appropriate.

The party recalled that by November 2006, the government was supposed to have moved a resolution in the House transferring to Go the title over land occupied by a number of telephone exchanges while the company was to transfer the Qawra site to the government. It asked why that had not happened.

The Qawra site, the MLP said, was worth between €23 million and €35 million.
