Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Affordable Housing Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Frank Curran:
Yes, absolutely. The LDA will have an ambitious programme. It will work with us. We saw the example of Shanganagh earlier. Examples such as the developments in Naas and Lusk are coming through, which are lands that came through the land aggregation scheme. The LDA will have the advantage that it will be able to strategically assemble land and fully utilise state lands to build affordable homes and sustainable communities. It is providing affordable and cost rental housing. We will work with it as best we can. It is very welcome.
