Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Land Development Agency: Chairman Designate

Mr. John Coleman:

The Deputy asked about the IDA Ireland sites just north of Ballymun. We have very good ongoing dialogue with IDA Ireland. Although it is not a Dublin site, we have already agreed in principle on gaining access to a very significant Cork site at Kilbarry. We have a good and very strong relationship with IDA Ireland.

We have not had any solid discussions in respect of the site mentioned, which I believe is IDA Poppintree. We have an ongoing dialogue and as part of our wider work on the State lands database, we are required by the LDA Act to report to the Government on State lands and potential for repurposing. That report must be provided 12 months from the commencement of the Act, which is imminent. We plan on doing it in 2022 and we would be happy to review the site as part of that process.
