713. Deputy Pádraig Rice asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to respond to matters raised in correspondence (details supplied); if his Department will intervene directly in this case; if his Department is aware of such issues in other local authorities; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39841/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe implementation of the legacy Affordable Scheme is a function of the relevant Local Authority. The sale and resale relating to the legacy affordable schemes is set out under section 99 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, and section 9 of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2002. The Acts set out provisions relating to resale of homes made available under those schemes. Section 99(1) and 9(2) of the respective Acts state that the sale of any home through the legacy schemes shall be subject to any conditions the housing authority may specify. As my Department is not party to the contracts between each Local Authority and the respective purchasers, I am not in a position to comment or intervene on such cases.
