I propose to take Questions Nos. 211 and 212 together.

In the information provided by Dublin City Council as part of the land audit carried out in April 2010, the site in question is referred to as Ayrefield/Malahide Road. My Department has no further details as regards the location of the site. My Department has not received an application from Dublin City Council, seeking inclusion of this site or the others named above in the Land Aggregation Scheme.

Land transferred to Housing and Sustainable Communities (HSC) Ltd. under the Land Aggregation Scheme will continue to be available for social housing if housing projects are advanced by authorities under the Social Housing Investment Programme. Land may also be made available for alternative use, including non-housing and community infrastructure purposes. Any disposal of land by HSC Ltd. will be subject to consultation with relevant bodies, including the local authority concerned, to ensure the best use of land from planning and value for money perspectives.
