Mr. John Hogan:
The help-to-buy scheme had a review this year and it is one of those schemes we keep under regular review. The extension cost was included in the budget and it equated to about €87 million from memory, although Ms Cunningham will have detail on that in a moment.
The housing and residential market is an area the Department sees as a very important part of the economy. While there is pressure on housing at the moment, we are looking at different interventions we can make as part of the suite of measures contained in Housing for All to address the challenges in the housing market. Some of those measures are in the support case, such as help-to-buy, and some of them are in the activation space-----
