1812 Mr. Morgan asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the crisis faced by those people who purchased their homes in local authority housing estates who now find that they cannot continue to live in their homes due to an unprecedented and rapid deterioration in the condition of the estate; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that such homeowners, including the elderly in particular, are being forced to leave due to high levels of crime, intimidation, stress and drug dealing and are left with houses that are now virtually worthless and cannot be sold; if his attention has further been drawn to the extent of this problem in four estates (details supplied) in Limerick; and if, in view of the fact that these people bought their homes from the local authority in good faith, he will consider establishing a specific scheme to buy back such houses in estates which have become uninhabitable in part due to failures of both local and central Government.
