Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Land Development Agency Bill 2019: Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government and Land Development Agency

Ms Maria Graham:

These are very complex issues because the decisions are Government and technical accounting issues that are made independently. They can change over time. There are commercial bodies that are on-balance sheet that were off-balance sheet previously. They are not set in stone. If we look across our portfolio of commercial State bodies, parts of some are currently on-balance sheet because of their investment profile while other parts of the same company are off-balance sheet. These are accounting issues that are becoming increasingly complex. What we are trying to focus on is what it is that we want the LDA to do.
