On the same issue, Deputy Michael Healy Rae is absolutely correct. The scheme is showing up some anomalies, whereby people who have been living in those houses for many years and who, through various mechanisms, including family support provisions, are in a position to buy them are not allowed to do so. They deserve the opportunity to buy them for themselves and their families. The scheme should be looked at to accommodate those with a genuine reason to be in a position, with the provision of family support, to buy those houses.
