Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Land Development Agency: Chairman Designate

Mr. Cormac O'Rourke:

It does. However, drawing on the experience in TII, the row was generally not about the principle of whether we could have the land; the row was about the price. If we can agree to the principle of acquisition, putting in place procedures to come to an agreement on price is probably a better place to be than just slapping a CPO on people. Compulsion is probably not the best way to go. We will only know this as we get further into it. Clearly, if it becomes an issue, we will approach the Minister with it.
