Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 October 2022
307. Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the plans he has to review the tenant incremental purchase scheme to allow those who were tenants of Part V houses prior to the introduction of the regulations to proceed with the purchase of their homes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [49454/22]
View answerI am not currently considering changes to the Tenant (Incremental) Purchase Scheme vis-à-vis inclusion of Part V properties provided for social housing support.
The Part V provisions seek to promote social integration and secure mixed tenure, sustainable communities. Accordingly, Part V properties secured for social housing are excluded from the scheme to ensure the original policy intent is not eroded over time and the properties remain available for people most in need of social housing support.
