It's understood it would take between five and ten years for the first slate of houses, around 10,000, to be built.
THE LAND DEVELOPMENT Agency has identified 83-State owned land sites which it says could hold up 67,000 homes.
However, the report is said to note that it would take between five and ten years for the first slate of houses, around 10,000, to be built.A report on the use of public land will go before Cabinet this morning. It’s understood the 83 sites have been chosen based on their potential ability to deliver affordable housing, facilitate the creation of new sustainable communities, and add to existing communities.Almost half of the sites are in Dublin, 14 are in Cork, six in Limerick, eight in Galway and four in Waterford.
While much of the land involved is brownfield and located in existing urban centres, other sites are currently in use by public bodies.Any move to develop affordable or social housing on lands in use by public bodies will be “subject to due diligence, consultation, and the normal planning processes”.
