Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government

More than sixty cases are currently being processed under the mortgage to rent scheme. One case has been fully concluded and a further 8 are expected to conclude shortly with purchase prices now agreed. My Department does not have access to lender data on the number of households which may be eligible for the scheme.
