Eoin Ó Broin: I welcomed the Minister's previous amendments that clarify the standing of the subsidiary designated activity companies and I welcome these amendments from him as well.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Land Development Agency Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (15 Jun 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have a small question on clarification for the Minister. I presume the intention of these amendments is in cases where the Valuation Office would not be used, and I presume this would not be the norm. Will the Minister set out what circumstances may arise? Is it if the Valuation Office is too busy with an overall workload? What would be the purpose of using private valuers for this function?

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the Minister for his explanation. I have two small questions for clarification.

It is just for the purposes of clarity.

Eoin Ó Broin: I ask for clarification on the clarification. Does this mean there could be occasions where land is being transferred from one State agency to the LDA in which no cost is incurred and, effectively, the land is being transferred for free? Is this what the Minister is speaking about? My previous question was on whether we are speaking about large development sites or small ransom strip...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Land Development Agency Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (15 Jun 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: To go back to the first point for a tiny clarification, if I understand this correctly, no compensation is paid at the time of the land being transferred but the land would be acquired through whatever the valuation is at a later stage.
