Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Residential Tenancies (Right to Purchase) Bill: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Liam Smyth:
There are completely separate grounds. There is the grounds of a family member moving in. If that person is going to buy it, they will be there in 12 months' time, so there is no question of having to re-offer it to the former tenant. The sale or transfer occurs after the person moves in and the tenancy is over.
