Eoin Ó Broin: The number of applications has been tiny and the number of purchases has been in the tens. Not a single one of the tenants affected has been transferred onto an affordable rent. The application process is too cumbersome and people do not know about the scheme. It is another of the Minister's failures. He is now telling us that none of that can change until there is change to the...

Darragh O'Brien: I completely and utterly reject what the Deputy has just said. It is a measure and an option that is available. Every tenant in the country has been written to through the Residential Tenancies Board, RTB, with the options available. The scheme operates on an administrative basis and nothing will stop with regard to applications. I have already said to the Deputy that it must be...

Eoin Ó Broin: As the Minister knows, there have been significant problems with the implementation of the cost rental tenant in situ scheme. There have been very small numbers of applications and even lower numbers of purchases.
