Mr. Paul Hogan: In preparing this measure, we looked at the Kenny report and its considerations. It proposed something a bit more direct.

We need to focus now on both greenfield and brownfield sites,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jul 2014) See 1 other result from this debate

Ciarán Lynch: I suggest that the land banks NAMA has amassed in recent times have, perhaps through a process of default, overcome the constitutional difficulties identified in the Kenny report. It is now possible for an agent acting on behalf of the State to control the release of land to the market, as opposed to what occurred with developers in the past. Is this something the witnesses have considered...
