784 Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government his plans to bring forward a new apartment sale scheme under the Housing Miscellaneous Act 2009; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1271/11]

I expect to make the necessary statutory instruments in the coming months to enable the tenant purchase scheme for local authority apartments under Part 4 of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009 to be brought into operation as quickly as possible thereafter.
