40. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government his plans to publish the review of the tenant purchase (incremental) scheme 2016; his further plans to change the scheme to make it more attractive; the number of houses purchased under the scheme to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8396/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraIn 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. I hope to be in a position to publish the review shortly, following consideration of a number of implementation issues arising.
My Department publishes information on the sale of local authority houses each year; this can be accessed on my Department's website at the following link:
