I lived through the land aggregation scheme in Galway. Half way through, it was suspended. I never believed it to be a good idea. I would appreciate the report that is being carried out and any update. Some land was transferred into the body in Dublin at great cost, although I do not know what that cost was. Certain loans have been taken while others have not. I am lost as to where the value for money was in that scheme.
Who is monitoring the value for money of using agency staff and contracting out work as a result of a lack of staff? Is it cost effective?
