Dáil
‹ Questions on Promised Legislation Tenant purchase scheme review
Summary
Deputy O'Dea asked whether the promised review of the tenant purchase scheme had been completed and what it recommended. The Taoiseach could not answer directly and said he would ask the Housing Minister to follow it up.
There is a commitment in the programme for Government to review the current tenant purchase scheme, which the Taoiseach will probably agree with me is unfair, unconscionable and possibly unconstitutional. This time last year, having raised this matter in the Dáil, I got a letter from the Taoiseach's predecessor stating that the Government would review the matter in the first quarter of 2017. Can the Taoiseach tell me if this review has taken place? If so, what did it recommend and what action will follow as a result?
