Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 December 2018
706. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of homes purchased under the tenant scheme by local authority area; the number of homes sold at each discount level, that is, 40%, 50% and 60%, respectively; and the average sale price to tenants in each local authority for each of the discount levels in tabular form. [50535/18]
View answerInformation on the sale of houses under the Tenant Purchase Scheme, broken down by local authority, is available on my Department's website at the following link:
https://www.housing.gov.ie/housing/statistics/social-and-affordble/other-local-authority-housing-scheme-statistics .
Local authorities are by law (Section 63(1) of the Local Government Act 2001) independent in the performance of their functions. The operation of the Tenant (Incremental) Purchase Scheme is a matter for the local authority concerned, in line with legislation, including the Housing (Sale of Local Authority Houses) Regulations 2015. Accordingly, my Department does not hold data in the form requested.
