In line with the commitment given in Rebuilding Ireland- Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness, a review of all aspects of the first 12 months of operation of the Tenant (Incremental) Purchase Scheme 2016 is currently being undertaken by my Department. To inform the review, a public consultation was undertaken, with a closing date for submissions of 10 February 2017.

The submissions received under the public consultation process are now being considered along with the scheme data collected from the local authorities. I expect the review to be completed on schedule by the end of Quarter 1 2017.
