Review of the tenant purchase scheme

QUESTION

To ask the Minister for Housing; Planning and Local Government the status of the review of the tenant purchase scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

REPLY

In line with the commitment given in the Government's Rebuilding Ireland Action Plan on Housing and Homelessness, a review of the operation of the first 12 months of the Tenant Purchase (Incremental) Scheme has been completed and a full report has been prepared setting out findings and recommendations. 

I intend to bring a comprehensive package of social housing reform measures to Government in the near future and the review of the Tenant Purchase Scheme will be published as part of that process.
