Tenant Purchase Scheme
Dail Éireann — 2020-10-06
============================================================

Brendan Smith (FF), Cavan-Monaghan

If I may make one point, please. The Minister of State seemed to cast some doubt in suggesting we need to watch out for a person with cash to buy a house. I was talking about the case of honourable persons who, through hard work and support from other individual family members, are in a position to buy out their house. There would be no question mark over the authenticity, provenance or source of the funding that they would use to buy their local authority house.
