Dessie Ellis (SF), Dublin North-West

Local authorities have been instructed by the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to purchase homes where a tenant has a notice to quit, which will allow them to stay in situ . Could a circular be issued to instruct local authorities to purchase homes outside the scheme of letting, subject to price and condition? There is an ad hoc approach by local authorities across the country and more certainty is needed given the crisis we are in.
