I thank the Deputy for raising the question. The Rebuilding Ireland home loan is for first-time buyers but there is an exception for someone who is separated or divorced; if they have previously owned a property they will still be eligible to apply for the scheme. We are currently rolling out the first tranche of the scheme and we are reviewing it as we go to see what changes we might make with the second tranche.
