Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Jackie Maguire:

There are some tracts of land in County Meath that developers and owners have sat on for a period of time and have been zoned for housing for a period of time. Hopefully, the welcome legislation that has been introduced will encourage them. As part of our ongoing engagement with developers and owners, we have always said that it is a question of use it or lose it. The new legislation will come into place. Some people have reactivated their lands. I consider that we have sufficient zoned land. It is a matter of trying to encourage those who have the land zoned in the right places to commence building.
