Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

When the State, through a local authority, buys a property from a landlord, we need to ensure that the building is up to code because ultimately this is taxpayers' money. As the Deputy mentioned, there may be some circumstances where the defects are so minor, they could be repaired and some flexibility should be shown. I am happy to raise it with the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. If the Deputy has a specific example to share with me, that would also be helpful.
