Comment on this
The Land Development Agency (LDA) is a statutory body under the aegis of this Department, and in line with section 12(4) of the Land Development Agency Act 2021 is independent in the performance of its functions.
To date, the LDA has delivered almost 3,000 homes, and is working on a pipeline of a further 25,000 homes on over 40 sites, with projects at every stage from design through to construction. Further information on these projects can be found on the LDA's website at the following link: https://lda.ie/projects.
It may be helpful to note that arrangements have been put in place by my Department to ensure that public bodies under its aegis have a dedicated email address in place to facilitate the provision of information directly to members of the Oireachtas. In this regard, the LDA can be contacted by emailing oireachtas@lda.ie for further details on this matter.
