There is "no basis" for thinking the Land Development Agency will not deliver social housing, its chief executive has told an Oireachtas committee.

At the housing committee, John Coleman said the bill to put his agency on a legislative footing is not going to be "flipping sites into the market" and is "focused on making sure that social and affordable housing are delivered on State lands".
