Hundreds of calls have been made to Dublin City Council about a new affordable housing scheme.

The 'rent-to-buy' scheme allows people put the rent they have paid towards the purchase price if they decide to buy the property over the next three years.

A total of 90 properties are available in three schemes in Dublin, while it could be extended nationwide if other authorities have housing stock.
