Amharc ar fhreagraGovernance of the Land Development Agency (LDA) is overseen by its Board, which sets its strategic objectives and informs strategic decisions on all key business issues. All Board members are appointed by the Minister with the consent of the Minister for Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform. To ensure the effective governance of the LDA, it is my intention to appoint new members in the coming year to replace members who have completed their terms and to ensure the board has the skills and experience necessary to provide effective oversight of the activities of the Agency.
Furthermore, as part of the recent agreement with respect to the future funding of the Land Development Agency with the Minister for Finance and the Minister for Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform, it was agreed that a Ministerial representation would be added to the Board of the LDA. The Departments which may be represented on the Board of the LDA have yet to be determined.
