Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael)

The LDA did not raise the matter with me. I should say the engagement that I had on this was with the Department of housing rather than the LDA. It is appropriate that the Department of housing should raise the matter with me. Given that I believe it is likely that the LDA would see a degree of gain in its post-tax income due to this change, my firm anticipation was that the gain, whatever it is, would be repurposed to then play a role in the delivery of more accommodation.
