Committee on Housing and Homelessness

Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government and the County and City Management Association

Mr. Colin Ryan:

On the land issue, there are a number of strategies that have to be examined in the context of the release of land, in particular by CIE and other State agencies and bodies, which issue was raised earlier with the Minister by Deputy O'Dowd. The Minister has given an undertaking to look at how that can be brought to bear at appropriate locations. While there are issues around commerciality and location the matter is currently being followed up.
