    I am submitting a request under the FOI Act 2014 for the following records: The a) business case b) valuation and c) all related records for the recent purchase of Castletown Demesne as reported: https://www.gov.ie/en/office-of-public-works/press-releases/the-opw-acquires-historic-estate-lands-at-castletown- house-celbridge-on-behalf-of-the-state/ In assessing this request, I expect that you will review the records to ensure that if it is possible to release partial records (e.g. if it is claimed there are still commercial sensitivities), this will be done as provided for under the Act. Given the Minister and the Chairman have publicly stated that the work on this business case and valuation commenced in the last 4-6 months, I anticipated that records will easily located and the number of records would not be voluminous but if either of these are claimed that there will be early engagement with me on these matters.
