Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Land Development Agency: Chairman Designate
Mr. Cormac O'Rourke:
Yes. What we are trying to do is engage with the local authorities who have been doing this since the foundation of the State, for 100 years. The Land Development Agency, LDA, has only come into existence over the past two years. It makes sense for us to engage with local authorities as to the appropriate mix on any site, particularly where it is a local authority site. We have to have a great regard for what a local authority in that case sees as the appropriate mix on that site.
