- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Brian Stanley: I know the background. Of course, not. The point I am making is that this thing that you have to start with a completely blank sheet every time has been raised here repeatedly by me. Mass production is cheaper, if you want to try to change every plan. I have not figured out the reason, with every school project, you start from scratch. I have not worked out why that is. Most of them, at...

Brian Stanley: Have you taken on any projects where a development has got so far and for whatever reason, maybe difficulty financing the next stage, they have the concrete poured but maybe the roof is not on or the internal works or the first or second fixes are not done?

- 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. When does Mr. Coleman hope that the LDA will have reasonably significant income? It has obviously done projections for the next five years. How does Mr. Coleman see it working out? I do not expect him to give me exact figures but I just wish to...

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...
