- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Brian Stanley: I have one more question. The witnesses have dealt with the issue of management companies and the CPO powers. In its design, the LDA has to operate according to what has been ordained by the Oireachtas and the Government. At the start, a lot of people thought the agency would just be a land development agency to ready land for development. Mr. Coleman said in the past few minutes that the...

Brian Stanley: I have a final question for Mr. Coleman. With regard to pounds, shillings and pence, at the moment there is a loss. Mr. Coleman explained why.

Brian Stanley: With regard to financing, the LDA had the €1.25 billion and was hoping to get €2.5 billion from last year’s budget. Maybe the LDA was not hoping for it but many others were. It did not happen. Do I recall that the Minister announced €2.5 billion on budget day? Maybe Ms Behan or Mr. O’Sullivan could help me with that. Was there an announcement on budget...
