Ms Oonagh McPhillips:

There are 150 acres. Our interest is in roughly 40 acres. The remainder of the site is available for development by the State. We flagged this in 2015 and 2016 to Fingal County Council and we had a detailed discussion about the site's proximity, or lack thereof, to Ashbourne. The council feels it is outside their zones in respect of being suitable for housing, and I yield to the experts on this matter. The land is a little bit distant from both those things. We also flagged the availability of the land to the IDA, which has looked at it several times. More recently, when the LDA was established, we flagged the availability of land with that organisation as well and we have had discussions in this regard. Ms McCaffrey and I met with representatives of the LDA in recent weeks to discuss this issue. Additionally, in the context of the war in Ukraine, we have also flagged the availability of the site. If the land is not suitable for housing, and again other people will decide the suitability in this regard, then it may also not be suitable for modular housing in the context of the refugee crisis either. The site is, however, suitable for other developments.
