United Kingdom Import Controls: Statements (25 Jan 2024)

Cormac Devlin: ...environment for Irish agrifood exports. As the UK continues and will continue to be an import market for Irish exports, a smooth transition to these new requirements will be very important for Ireland.

Chapter 11 - Utilisation of the Land Aggregation Scheme Sites (14 Dec 2023)

Cormac Devlin: I wish to focus on the land the Housing Agency has, that is, the 73 sites. An estimated 5,365 units are to be delivered on it. The Comptroller and Auditor General already has spoken about the 676 units, that was estimated at about 52 units per year over 13 years. It is quite slow. We need to ensure that figure has a few zeroes after it. What has been the change in the past few months or...

Public Accounts Committee: NAMA Financial Statements 2022 and Special Report 116 of the Comptroller and Auditor General (28 Sep 2023)

Cormac Devlin: ...stock, I have spoken before about the valuable contribution that NAMA has made in realising assets for the State and selling certain portfolios. Mr. McDonagh mentioned direct sales to the Land Development Agency, LDA, local authorities and approved housing bodies. Does Mr. McDonagh have a breakdown of those sales between the LDA, which would be relatively recent, I presume, the approved...

Public Accounts Committee: NAMA Financial Statements 2022 and Special Report 116 of the Comptroller and Auditor General (28 Sep 2023)

Cormac Devlin: ...made. In terms of assets NAMA inherited, maybe before Mr. McDonagh's time, was planning permission maintained on assets that NAMA had secured all the way through? By that I mean large swathes of land that had full planning permission. My belief is that planning permissions lapsed and, therefore, the sites were not as valuable as they could have been and where we could have realised...

Committee on Public Petitions: Consideration of Public Petition on Reform of Insurance for Thatched Heritage Buildings: Discussion (29 Sep 2022)

Cormac Devlin: ...not afford it, given those types of premiums, some people are unable to even sell the property. From the experience of her group, how extensive is that problem? If it is a property on a farm or on its own land, are many of the members of the thatched property group coming across this problem regularly? Those are my three questions to the witnesses.

Cormac Devlin: ...been on this temporary site for about 27 years, although the Department owns it. Mr. Loftus outlined five stages, which sound quite simple, but I know it is complex. The Department probably selects land owned by the council or State land first and then if that is not available, it seeks to acquire land, if possible. I am sure Mr. Loftus will agree that 27 years is a long time to spend...

In particular, they referred to making public land pollinator friendly. Can they elaborate on how that is being done? Mr. Callery mentioned the Let’s Get Buzzing event and a few other initiatives. He specifically mentioned...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Biodiversity: Engagement with Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (14 Jun 2022)

Cormac Devlin: ..., SPAs. That was interesting to me because I represent Dún Laoghaire, a coastal constituency, and one where we are familiar with the SPAs. There has to be a balance between the SPAs and other uses of land adjacent to the SPAs. We need to find that balance in order to try to make progress on various schemes. I was glad to hear Dr. Lynn's emphasis on biodiversity. The pollination...

It can be about land or buildings zoned for commercial use. It can also be about individual properties. It can...
