Land Development Agency to spend €9m on professional services

Earlier this year, the Land Development Agency said there is the potential to build up to 67,000 homes on State-owned land across Ireland, but that less than 10,000 of those could be delivered within the next decade. File picture

The State body with responsibility for unlocking land for public housing is to spend €9m on recruiting professional services for the end administration of its housing delivery.

The Land Development Agency has requested tenders from professional bodies for the provision of such services in eight areas around the country: Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway, Waterford, Kildare, Meath, and Wicklow.
