Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Land Development Agency Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Thomas Gould (Cork North Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
The LDA has a site at St. Kevin's in Cork which could have up to 240 units but which has no public transport, no cycleways, greenways or infrastructure. I made a submission on the site, and this goes to the whole heart of ensuring that when we build and develop communities, they are sustainable. I am concerned there will be a lack of infrastructure if the description is too broad. Deputy Ó Broin and I are trying to be constructive. We are saying we need this infrastructure to be put in place if we want to develop communities and make them sustainable. We are not being argumentative. We are trying to improve the Bill, if we can.
