Mortgage Arrears Resolution (Family Home) Bill 2017: Discussion
9:00 am
Mr. David Hall:
If one looks at the existing structure in place for approved housing bodies, such bodies are regulated entities under the Housing Agency and only receive funding from the State. We have a bizarre situation where mortgage-to-rent arrangements are made through iCare Housing, which is a regulated approved housing body but where the Department is about to call for expressions of interest from vulture funds to do the same. These funds call themselves commercial funds or some sexy name.
