Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 April 2019
607. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government when he plans to change the tenant purchase scheme for local authority houses; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15448/19]
View answerThe Housing (Sale of Local Authority Houses) Regulations 2015, set the commencement date as 1 January 2016 for the introduction of the current incremental tenant purchase model. All sales from 1 January 2016 have been made under the terms of this Scheme.
In line with the commitment given in Rebuilding Ireland, a review of the operation of the first 12 months of the Tenant Purchase (Incremental) Scheme has been completed and a full report has been prepared setting out findings and recommendations. Following consideration of a number of implementation issues arising, I expect to be in a position to publish the review shortly.
