Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Residential Tenancies (Right to Purchase) Bill: Discussion

Mr. John Kennedy:

It depends on the circumstances of the person. Are they buying a home? Are they in a hurry to sell, having committed to another property? There are different scenarios in which timelines become more urgent. There can come a point at which the vendor cannot or will not wait any longer. That is the point the Senator is asking about but there are many situations and complications.
