From my experience over the past five years in Dublin city, landlords who bought properties 20 or 30 years ago saw the value of the property drop dramatically in the crash and when the property prices began to rise again, they wanted to sell the properties, as that was their pension. Where a local authority could purchase the home and keep the family that was renting in situ, as they were on the housing list anyway, that prevented the family becoming homeless. Is that the type of measure Mr. Dennigan is talking about?
