Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Minister is to finalise the statutory instrument for consideration and expects this to take place soon. I think he wrote to the Deputy in September stating his intentions. Clearly, the tenant purchase scheme has always been important in the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government and for local authorities. As the Deputy knows, such a scheme arises every number of years, depending on the interest shown and the conditions attached. I will follow up the matter with the Minister when I get an opportunity to do so.
