Minister Kelly has signed the Housing (Sale of Local Authority Houses) Regulations 2015 to enable the new scheme for the tenant purchase of existing local authority houses along incremental purchase lines to come into operation on 1 January 2016. The new year commencement will allow time for housing authorities to familiarise themselves with the new scheme and for interested tenants to make necessary preparations to apply to purchase. A copy of the Regulations has been laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas.
