The LDA says 'meaningful progress is possible' with some of the more difficult-to-release lands it has considered. It says several 'clearly deliverable plots' have emerged upon investigation. Picture: Denis Minihane.

There is potential to build up to 67,000 homes on State-owned land — but less than 10,000 can be delivered within the next decade.

A new report from the Land Development Agency (LDA), to be presented to Cabinet on Tuesday, says that up to 66,910 homes could be built across 83 pieces of land owned by State bodies.
