It was interesting to hear Members opposite reference the tenantin situscheme which, as the Taoiseach knows, has two strands. One is for social housing tenants whose landlords want to bring their tenancy to an end. The other strand is for those in private rental accommodation whose landlords want to bring their tenancy to an end. In both cases, the local authority or housing association can step in to purchase the house and keep the tenant in situ. Does the Taoiseach welcome the news from my county and share my appreciation of the work being done by South Dublin County Council? A total of 99 tenants have so far availed of the scheme in the South Dublin County Council area.

I believe 133 in total are being processed by the county council. This is not enough but the Taoiseach will agree that it is good news.
