‹ Order of Business Tenant purchase scheme letter
Summary
Deputy Willie O'Dea asked for a promised letter on the tenant purchase scheme and its treatment of people on social welfare. The Taoiseach said he would chase the matter and renew the reply if needed.
Four weeks ago I raised with the Taoiseach the question of the tenant purchase scheme and how it discriminated against those in receipt of social welfare payments. He promised that he would write to me to give me his views on the matter. I am sure he did write to me and as the letter is probably lost in the post, will he send it again?

I will have to chase up that matter. I know that the Deputy opens his post at all times. I will have to see whether anything was committed to paper for him.

The Minister for Finance, Deputy Michael Noonan, knows.
