Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage

Affordable Housing: Discussion

2:00 am

Professor Michelle Norris:

That is a very good question. The income limits are just too narrow, particularly for cost rental and affordable housing. You really have to be in an unbelievably narrow band of income to qualify for both and you still have to have an income that will enable you to pay the cost rent or service the mortgage. When you combine all those it is just too narrow.
