The information requested is not available. The commercial Semi State companies develop their land-bank on a fully commercial basis and this is a day to day operational matter for the companies concerned.

There would be no cost per county to the Exchequer. Any rent or other payments made to the semi State companies would be fully reflected in their annual accounts.
