Councils to transfer lands to Land Development Agency without vote from councillors

Bill will add affordability to market, housing minister says

Councils will be able to transfer state lands to the Land Development Agency without a vote from councillors under a bill to put the agency on a statutory footing.

The LDA was established as a State agency under secondary legislation in September 2018 to build 150,000 new homes over the next 20 years, as part Project Ireland 2040.
