I wish to congratulate Minister Alan Kelly on his appointment as Minister for Housing ..... I am hoping that you will be able to help me in the following situation .....
I am a dlrcoco tenant of 20 years, I lived 8+ years in local authority Flats & the rest in my current local authority house in db16. I missed out on the tenant purchase scheme because of my financial situation etc.... I have been getting told by dlrcoco for 2 years that the incremental purchase scheme will be coming into effect & still there is no sign of same. I have been asking them for a list of the properties that they intend to offer to tenants & applicants but I am met with no reply.
I am wondering if there is any further developements on the The Incremental Purchase Scheme. There are whispers through certain people in this estate that dlrcoco have aquired apartments in Wyckham Point .... I have heard of some people downsizing i.e. returning their houses to get an apartment etc.. & also that the council will be offering some units to tennants for I.P.S. if so I would be interested if there was a top floor apartment or another 3 bed house out of Hillview going & either to avail of IPS or swap my 3 bed house for a 3 bed apartment/house.

I would be very grateful if you could tell me what properties are being offered to tenants & when they are going to be offered & what is the order of who & how they will be offered too.

I wish to reiterate that we would be more than happy to give back our 3 bed council house with rear garden & front garden with room for parking a car in place for a 3 bed top floor apartment or 3 bed house (in Wyckham Point or similar) either under the I.P. Scheme or a straight swap.

We as a family would really really appreciate your consideration in this matter, most of all we would really like a list of the properties & criteria that dlrcoc intend on issuing for the IPS.

We both work full time & we have one son Trinity College & one son with only a year left in secondary school. We have always been very grateful for the position we are in - but we would also be very happy to give back this house so someone else can try to be happy here, maybe a family with youngsters that would love the house & community it's in.

I look forward to your reply,

Many thaks, again.

Kind Regards,
Carol
