Fianna Fail plan to renage on the promise to sell local Authority flats to long term residents at a reasonable price It seems like Noel Ahern is going to do the dirty on tenants of Dublin Corporation and other local authorities and string out the bill that would have made this possible untill after the elections are over! Then if they get back in they will launch an expensive scheme and sting the tenants for as money as possible. Of course if they dont get in and the opposition dont allow the sales to go ahead, then they will pursue a populist line and say they will introduce it the next time they return to power in future. Either way they hope to win on this issue. But the liklihood is that they will lose a fair few votes from local authority tenants who have already been waiting over 3 years for Fianna Fail to drag their heels in introducing the necessary legislation. Ok they will throw in a cut in the price of less than 1% per year that a tenant has been paying rent but this has already been wiped out by the massive housing price increases over the last 3 years that they dilly dallied and any reductions are already totally eroded. So any local authority tenants who dont want to be excluded or want to have a choice or option or the security of housing should check out what the other parties are saying on this issue. Also potential voters on this site dont vote for Fianna Fail (the builders party) |
