        “The LDA, with capital of €1.25bn, is a step change in the Government’s involvement in the housing market. We are going to build new homes and lots of them... social housing, affordable housing, private housing and cost rental housing on both publicly and privately owned land.”pic.twitter.com/A2853q7Teq

        The LDA will address traditional volatility in land prices as a result of land speculation as well as delays in delivering housing and strategic urban redevelopment generally as a result of delays in delivery due to disparate land ownership and cost allocation for infrastructurepic.twitter.com/eRVXLUAXto

        I can’t believe Fine Gael’s solution to the housing crisis is creating another fucking quango, the Land Development Agency. It’s like when the mass doesn’t work to save Dougal from the bomb on the milk float & the next genius idea was: another mass. #TakeBackTheCitypic.twitter.com/zxkIH5dVhZ
