Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Land Development Agency: Chairman Designate
Mr. Cormac O'Rourke:
There is not going to be a forced transfer of land. As I mentioned to Deputy Ó Broin when he asked the question, I very much believe in voluntary exchange and that there should not be compulsion. When it comes to local authorities, we must develop a long-term working relationship with all of them. So far, things look very good in that regard. The local authorities are going to be our long-term partners and I do not see us trying to enforce our view on them. I see us working with them and in concert with them, not in opposition to them.
