The existing tenant purchase scheme, which is in operation since 1995, does not apply to separate and self-contained flats in premises divided into two or more flats. Proposals received from Dublin City Council regarding the sale of flats raise significant issues of a legal, financial and policy nature and examination of them in my Department is under way.
