I propose to take Questions Nos. 32 and 67 together.
The Bill announced by the Government on 9 July to address the problem of anit-social behavour in local authority housing areas is being drafted as a matter of urgency and will be presented to the Dáil as soon as possible.
I have no proposals to extend the measures in the Bill to private housing, including housing which may have been sold under tenant purchase arrangements. It is envisaged, however, that the legislation will provide discretion, in certain circumstances, for health boards to refuse or withdraw assistance under the SWA scheme in respect of rent or mortgage costs of private housing.
