There has been a very strong performance in the scheme since it was introduced in 2023. More than 1,800 social homes were acquired in 2023, of which more than 1,000 were for properties where tenants received a notice of termination. This year the Minister has allocated €325 million to the tenant in situ scheme. It was announced for this year. There are issues and the local authority in Cork raised some of those issues. There was engagement between officials in the Department of housing and officials in Cork City Council but it is not correct to say the scheme has been closed off. That is simply just not true.
