I will concentrate first on the land aggregation scheme, LAGS, which we...

Chapter 11 - Utilisation of the Land Aggregation Scheme Sites (14 Dec 2023) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: The phrase here is that local authorities could only transfer a land that had a reasonable residential development potential. I will begin with that because it is a very hazy phrase. Can the witnesses give me more detail on the metrics? First, the Department approved or rejected the inclusion of sites into the LAGS.
