Tánaiste critical of council resistance to  tenant-in-situ scheme

Micheál Martin: 'Unfair to suggest that Fianna Fáil could be tainted by homeless crisis.'

Local authorities around the country will be pressured to buy homes with tenants in-situ as Tánaiste Micheál Martin admits there has been resistance to the scheme.

Mr Martin was critical that only some councils across the country were implementing Government policy and said a more “uniform” response was required to ensure people could remain in their homes and not end up homeless.
