Social and Affordable Housing
4:00 pm
Terence Flanagan (Dublin North East, Fine Gael)
I thank the Minister of State. Has the Minister of State and his Department decided to continue with this product which is a failed product? Any commercial institution would have closed it down immediately after a couple of months, if not within six months. The public is voting with its feet on this issue. They are staying away from it as they are fearful of a repeat of the sub-prime lending issue. I ask the Minister of State to explain the €500 million fund which was earmarked for this product. What is happening that money? Would it not be put to better use in other areas?
