View answerIn September 2020 I convened a working group to examine the issues around unsold affordable properties. The working group comprises members of the Local Government Sector, Housing Finance Agency, Housing Agency, Approved Housing Bodies through the Irish Council of Social Housing, and the Social Housing Leasing Section of my Department.
In progressing this examination, the working group has discussed a number of options to date. When the Group's work is finalised, they will make recommendations to my Department.
The working group is expected to meet again in September.
