The Government decided on 1 July 2003 that lands at Gormanston, County Meath would be among the State lands released for inclusion in the Sustaining Progress affordable housing initiative.

The modalities for the transfer of lands at Gormanston to the relevant local authority are under active consideration and my Department is in ongoing communication with the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government in this regard.
