- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency (23 Jan 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I appreciate that. What Mr. Coleman is saying is that he is not in a position to share with us what the LDA's internal targets are for direct delivery.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency (23 Jan 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I appreciate that, and I can get it from the business plan. I do not want to be rude; I just have limited time.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency (23 Jan 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Likewise with Project Tosaigh, is Mr. Coleman in a position to tell us what he believes would be handed over to the LDA this year, next year and the year after in terms of completed or substantially completed units?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency (23 Jan 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Yes, but does Mr. Coleman have a figure he can share with us? It is okay if he does not. It is just so I know what is likely to come from those two delivery streams over the next three years.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency (23 Jan 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I know. I am just trying to get visibility on the trajectory of the ramp-up in 2024, 2025 and 2026. Is there something in this regard that Mr. Coleman can share with the committee, even in writing at a later stage?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency (23 Jan 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I am actually not being awkward. I am just looking to find out what the hope or expectation is for each delivery stream for 2024, 2025 and 2026.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency (23 Jan 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: This will be across the two delivery streams.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency (23 Jan 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: That will be across the two delivery streams again.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency (23 Jan 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Okay. If at some point the LDA is able to provide our committee with a breakdown of those figures between the two delivery streams, we would be interested to see it.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency (23 Jan 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: My last question is on who is doing the LDA's property management at the minute. Mr. Coleman said it is "externalised". That is a wonderful word, but who has the LDA contracted to do this work?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency (23 Jan 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Who are they?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency (23 Jan 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Why are there so many different ones? Is it geographically-based or scheme-based? It just seems unusual to have so many.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency (23 Jan 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Does that mean the LDA will have six property managers managing the organisation's estate at any given time, with them managing different portions of the estate?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency (23 Jan 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: How many are doing it now?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency (23 Jan 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: This is kind of interesting. Is that not more complicated to deal with? How many occupied units does the LDA have now?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency (23 Jan 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: The LDA, therefore, has fewer than 1,000 units. How many property management companies did Mr. McGuane say were managing these units?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency (23 Jan 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: It is five for less than 1,000 units.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency (23 Jan 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I get that, but the LDA is using five of those companies now. Do they all do the same thing but on separate sites? I refer to making people aware that they can apply for the cost rental unit, helping them to move in and settle in, and doing all this type of estate management element.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency (23 Jan 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I have one last question.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency (23 Jan 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: It is a 30 second question. Given the scale of what is being proposed, has the LDA assessed whether it would be more cost-effective to do it in-house rather than having multiple private providers?
