Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Land Development Agency: Chairman Designate

Mr. John Coleman:

I will come in on that. Obviously, with the increase in working from home over the past couple of years and the pandemic situation, we are keeping that under review. I am glad to say that we have actually made progress on that. The whole purpose and point of opening up regional offices was to increase the focus on regional balance and have more focus of the LDA not just in Dublin and surrounding counties but also particularly Cork and Limerick. We have agreed with Cork City Council and we currently have office space available. We have one member of staff down there at the moment. We are operating out of City Hall so we have an office as a starting point. We would be open to broadening our horizons, however. That is something I believe the board of the LDA will have a close look at as we go through our strategic and business planning process for 2022.
