Social housing legislation
Peter Fitzpatrick asks when the housing miscellaneous provisions Bill will be published; the Taoiseach says it will appear during the current legislative session.
The objective of the housing (miscellaneous provisions) Bill is to expand and strengthen the regulatory framework for social housing, including the statutory underpinning for the new scheme of housing assistance payments, the repossession of local authority dwellings and to provide for a new tenant purchase scheme for existing local authority houses along incremental purchase lines. When can we expect its publication?

It will be published in this session. The heads were cleared before Christmas so it is moving on the conveyor belt.
