Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of Land Development Agency Bill 2019: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Larry O'Connell:
Mr. Cahill will talk about permanent affordability. The Senator asked an important question about whether the legislation should drop the return to the State clause. One of the key aims of the LDA as it is conceived is to ensure that our investment in housing will be countercyclical. One way to do that is for it to be off-balance sheet, and that will require classification of the commercial basis.
