Sinn Féin accuses Government of deliberately cutting funding for tenant-in-situ scheme

The scheme is designed to allow local authorities to purchase homes when a landlord is selling up, with the tenants remaining in the house as a social housing tenant.

Sinn Féin has accused the Government of deliberately reducing funding allocated for the tenant-in-situ scheme.

The party has tabled a Dáil motion, due to be debated on Wednesday, accusing the Government of attempting to purposefully restrict the scheme.
