Darragh O'Brien: He is probably stirring the pot. This is zoned land and there are no surprises there. This is land that is zoned in the development plan and there are no material contraventions, no breaches of development plans and no breaches of local area plans, LAPs. It is land that was already identified. Most of us within the areas we represent will be aware of State-owned land that is zoned but has...

Darragh O'Brien: ...will certainly happily work with people to ensure we provide that update to Deputies and the best way to do it is through the Oireachtas joint committee. There was a query as to why other State-owned land is involved. There may be opportunities there. The Housing Agency has its land fund now but we work with other State agencies on the transfer of lands. I mentioned the example of...

I went through some of this in my Second Stage contribution. The conditions and the defined circumstances are that the land is...

Planning and Development and Foreshore (Amendment) Bill 2022 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (14 Dec 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: .... I accept the Minister cannot give us a list this side of Christmas, for example, but it would be reasonable that, every quarter, our committee would get an updated report on the progress, the lands and what is being done. To be clear, my question did not relate to what will happen if a manager comes to the Minister in the middle of 2024. Rather, it concerned what will happen if a...

Darragh O'Brien: .... There are no surprises within the measures that have been brought forward here. One of the big asks by local authorities since I was appointed was to deal with this issue of legacy debt and to release land out, and that has taken some time.

Gerald Nash: ...any particular problems in terms of Part 8, or any element of it representing a logjam for the council providing itself with permission, for want of a better description, to develop on its own lands, whether that has been for housing or a critical piece of infrastructure. I have been sceptical about this proposal from the get-go. I could not quite understand where the demand was...

Darragh O'Brien: ...directly by PAS. It is common in legislation that the selection process is not specified, or that it is explicitly specified that a recruitment competition is open. That is what is going to happen. For example, the Land Development Agency, LDA, Act states that the Minister appoints the board and the board will appoint the chief executive. However, there is an open recruitment process...
