Buying your council flat

[noshark]

The latest correspondence from John Gormley's office on the sale of Council flats to the occupier states that 65% of the complex must be in agreement to purchase, otherwise that particular complex will not be able to purchase. What type of legislation is this? This is another blatant display of injustice in the long running saga of the sale of these flats. Can one imagine that if 64% agree to purchase that this will be denied cause the percentage is not high enough. From the outset flat tenants of Dublin City Council have been denied the right to purchase while their fellow tenants who have or were allocated houses are allowed to do so. All tenants are subject to the same DCC rules and regulations except when it comes to purchasing their homes. If that was not blatant and unjust practise enough along comes the latest round of off-the-wall legislation. How can this go unchallenged or are DCC flat dwellers dealt with in the same fashion as tenants were treated by their landlords in 18th and 19th century Ireland?

corporation property should not be for sale to tenants,if these people want to buy property get it off the open market,these properties are for joe soaps who in the past could not afford to buy houses,in the future there will still be people looking to rent from the corpo,it ends up with the corpo buying back houses.I live in corpo property.

Well then should it not be the same for everybody, flat or house. You can 't have one law for one and a different law for another.
