For the information of the Chair, local authority home loans are currently not allowing drawdown of mortgages. There is an odd situation where somebody is applying to a local authority for a home loan . The Croí Cónaithe towns refurbishment grant gets approved for both but cannot proceed, because the home loan lender is not willing to allow the drawdown of the mortgage until that issue is resolved.
