Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 95 and 96 together.
As of May 2018, the IDA currently owns 1197 hectares that is available for marketing. In addition, IDA also owns circa 135 hectares in estate roads and a further 122 hectares in residual undevelopable land on various industrial estates and business parks. This land is generally held in small tracts which is undevelopable.
IDA land is typically zoned for industrial purposes and I am not aware of any land that is zoned for residential development.
