Sale of Local Authority Flats
Mr. Gormley: Yesterday I raised the issue of legislation governing the tenant purchase scheme for local authority housing. The Taoiseach had not been briefed at that stage but I believe he has now been briefed. Will such legislation be contained in a new social housing Bill?
The Taoiseach: I believe I answered the Deputy’s question. Legislation is being prepared on tenant purchase.
Mr. Gormley: Will the provisions be included in a new social housing Bill?
The Taoiseach: I am not sure.
Mr. Gormley: I will raise this matter again next week. I understood the Taoiseach had been briefed in the meantime.
The Taoiseach: I believe my office contacted the Deputy regarding this matter.
Mr. Gormley: The Department for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government contacted me.
