- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Schemes (19 Sep 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I will continue the conversation about the tenant in situ scheme because the information both the Minster and Minister of State, Deputy Dillon, have presented is not the same as the information given to local authorities in the circular of June this year. There is a cap - it is 50% above the targets that have been set for local authorities. Anything above the 50% cap must be submitted...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Schemes (19 Sep 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: For example, they tell us that the first instance focus on prevention and the requirement that all other options have to be exhausted will create further delays.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Schemes (19 Sep 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: This is hugely restrictive and it is a change.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Schemes (19 Sep 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Absolutely.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Schemes (19 Sep 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: What the Minister is saying is not the same as what is in the circular given to local authorities. For the sake of clarity, if a local authority has a target of 50 units, it can have a pipeline of 75 units without going back to the Department.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Schemes (19 Sep 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: That is stated in the circular. Every single property beyond those 75 units, no matter what it costs, has to go to the Department for individual sanction. That is what the circular says. That will take time and is causing problems. Second, the Minister introduced a new and much more restrictive set of criteria. One criterion is that all other options have to be exhausted before the...

Eoin Ó Broin: The Housing Agency has not been able to sell any homes to approved housing bodies. Will the Minister explain that?
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Schemes (19 Sep 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: The circular states that for acquisitions above the local authority allocation, plus 50%, advance approval will be needed to be obtained from the Department. That is in flat contradiction to what the Minister said. The cost-rental tenant in situ scheme was meant to be that the Housing Agency would purchase the property, sell it to an approved housing body and the rent would be reduced to a...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Schemes (19 Sep 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: However, they are not cost-rental tenancies. First, the Minister is restricting and causing further delays to tenants in situ for social housing. One year and a half in, the Minister is essentially admitting he got it wrong with the cost-rental tenant in situ scheme and is now trying to scramble to introduce amending legislation. What he has said is different from what is in the circular....
