What this means for a buyer
The Land Development Agency keeps a register of land held by public bodies under the Land Development Agency Act 2021, as part of finding State land for housing. Being on the register does not mean a site is surplus or for sale. When a council does sell, it has to give its members notice first, which shows up on the council land for sale list; other State bodies sell through their own processes.
Questions people ask
Is this land for sale?
Not because it is on the register, which shows who holds what. A council sale is announced through a section 183 notice.
Who holds the most public land here?
This page lists the largest holders in Dublin City by area.
