Cork City Council has submitted a revised scheme of letting priorities to my Department which includes a provision to introduce a scheme whereby elderly persons who own an existing house can apply for a city council tenancy and sell their house to the city council at a reduced market value. A decision will be made on the revised scheme shortly.
