Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 11 September 2023
886. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if a local authority property has to be built before a certain date/year in order for an applicant to be eligible for the incremental tenant purchase scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37826/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Tenant (Incremental) Purchase Scheme 2016 provides for the purchase by eligible tenants, or joint tenants, of local authority homes available for sale under the scheme.
Certain classes of houses are excluded from sale under the current rules of the scheme, for example where, in the opinion of the local authority, a house should not be sold for reasons relating to proper stock management, or on account of the house’s structural condition.
There is, however, no specific requirement that a house must have been built before a certain date or year.
