This question relates to the help-to-buy scheme for first-time purchasers of new houses, which was introduced in the budget last October. I seek an update on the number of approved applications, on whether the estimated cost of the scheme at €50 million has changed, given the number of applications was higher than the Minister expected, and on the independent impact assessment he has committed to, which went out to tender some weeks ago.
