General Scheme of the Housing (Regulation of Approved Housing Bodies) Bill 2015: Discussion
2:15 pm
Mr. Seán Cremen:
The value of loan approvals has increased fivefold. The total number of approvals is €180 million. This year, we have had approvals of €125 million to €126 million. Last year, that number was approximately €25 million, so there has been a very significant increase in the approvals in 2015 over 2014.
