Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Committee and Remaining Stages.

 

Senator O'Meara raised the question of the sale of local authority housing and the tenant purchase scheme which I thought was good. In many cases, people bought those houses, sold them on and maybe built a bungalow or whatever on an independent site. By doing that, they afforded young couples the opportunity to get on the first step of the ladder by buying those houses in housing estates, often at a reasonable cost.
