Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Affordable Housing: Discussion
Mr. Jim Baneham:
The Deputy asked about income limits and referred to the income threshold for affordable housing for couples being set at €75,000. There was discussion of it being an income limit, but it has not been enacted and is not in regulations. The legislation is more flexible in how it describes the way in which income limits are calculated. There is a degree of complexity. I might ask Mr. McCarthy to explain a little about it because it is not a one-size-fits-all policy. That is how it is described in the legislation. Obviously, it must be enacted in the regulations. Mr. McCarthy may provide more detail in that regard.
