Local authority tenant purchase scheme

Summary

Patrick Nulty asks for urgent housing legislation to restore purchase opportunities for local-authority tenants and address wider housing problems. The Taoiseach says the Bill’s heads were cleared and publication is expected this session.

The Taoiseach will be aware that a number of local authority tenants are unable to purchase their homes because of the termination of previous schemes. Will the Government urgently bring forward the long-awaited housing Bill to address this issue and a myriad of other issues in our dysfunctional and failing housing system for the tens of thousands of families in housing need?

I answered this question yesterday. The heads of that Bill were cleared in December and it is expected to be published in this session. It is a matter of concern to the Government that a scheme should be in place so that work is under way.
