Frances Fitzgerald (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I will ask the Minister with responsibility for housing, Deputy Coveney, to liaise directly with the Deputy on this issue and on the current approach. I am aware of the issue, which is a long-standing one that has not been dealt with. There are a range of barriers against people who wish to purchase their accommodation. A significant proportion of people in local authority housing would like to purchase their homes but cannot do so currently.
