Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Jackie Maguire:
It was after the recession, so probably around 2009 or 2010. It was a specific scheme run by the Housing Finance Agency whereby local authorities could borrow the money and the interest was rolled up over a seven-year period. Issues relating to government debt and borrowing all feed into that. It is a complex area that the Department of Finance would have to feed into.
