Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (8 May 2024)

Pa Daly: ...at levels not seen since the 1980s. We need a step change and Sinn Féin's affordable leasing scheme, which Deputy Ó Broin has prepared, is just one of these changes, whereby the State would pay for all land and site servicing-related costs and the purchaser would buy the home at or near the full cost of construction. With just 1,000 affordable homes delivered by the Government...

Brian Stanley: ...public services. Sinn Féin is offering part of the solution through a viable working alternative for affordable homes. Because the scheme we propose means homes would be built on serviced State land, it would reduce the initial price with the development levies being waived. It would ensure permanent affordability for subsequent buyers as the homes could be sold to another buyer...

Catherine Connolly: ...for 2023. Regarding affordable housing, five years later, it was reported that Galway city and county councils have no delivery in 2022 or 2023. Galway is the only city with no delivery to date. There is public land in Galway but because of the multitude of approaches from this Government and previous Governments, we have failed to build public housing on public land full stop - no...

Matt Shanahan: ...finished before the complex can be signed off and handed over. That is creating a huge strain, with the result that builders are deciding to leave these high-density developments. We have zoned lands in Waterford and a number of strategic housing developments have been approved but nothing has started. That is part of the problem. We also have a significant issue with planning...

Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (8 May 2024)

Mattie McGrath: ...Féin plans to deliver a fully constructed home for under €300,000. It is a fantasy. The motion mentions Sinn Féin's affordable leasehold purchase scheme under which the State would cover all land and servicing costs, retain ownership and make additional contributions to ensure affordable prices for developments. However, it does not specify who would build these...

Gino Kenny: ...is a scheme in Clondalkin, the Clonburris affordable dwelling purchase scheme. The average affordable home in that scheme costs €320,000. That is the average. The average industrial wage in Ireland is €50,000 per year so I do not know how these homes can be affordable to people who are on the average wage. It is impossible if you are on the average wage and, even if you...

Seán Canney: ...to speak about housing. I will first wish the Minister of State, Deputy Dillon, well in his position. It is the first time I have met him across the floor. As a fellow coming from the west of Ireland, I know he will do his best to bring houses there. I will start with the affordable housing scheme. I spoke to the Ministers, Deputies Michael McGrath and Donohoe, about this in...

Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (8 May 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: I move amendment No. 1 to amendment No. 1: To insert the following after "which Ireland is now facing": "; and calls on the Government to introduce legislation to allow for the zoning of land for the particular use of providing affordable housing as defined in Parts 2 and 3 of the Affordable Housing Act 2021.". We are in the middle of a housing disaster. We have record levels of...

Ivana Bacik: ...it is not working. We acknowledge there are aspects of Government policies which work. We welcome interventions that are effective. Across the Opposition, that is the case. We want to see the Land Development Agency become truly effective. We want to see developments, such as the hugely important development in Poolbeg, working and delivering. We want to see construction ramped up,...

Darragh O'Brien: ...xe9;in is going to introduce to make these homes affordable appears not to have any equity stake in it. The other question is how long it is going to take Sinn Féin, if it gets into government, to stand up this scheme. What land is it going to use? Would it be this infinite resource of public land that is apparently out there? We know about its track record of objecting and voting...

Darragh O'Brien: ...to do, that times are still very challenging for those who are struggling to buy a home or pay rent, and that is why the measures we have brought forward are so important, such as delivery through the Land Development Agency, the supports through the first-home scheme, the help-to-buy grant and social homes at a scale we had not seen in 50 years. Far too many people are experiencing...

Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (8 May 2024)

Pauline Tully: ...an affordable housing scheme that workers and families can afford and that will enable councils and housing bodies to build homes that people can buy at or near the cost of construction, excluding the land-related costs. It will be open to those with a gross household income of up to €85,000. Therefore, people do not have to refuse work to stay below a social income threshold in...

Martin Kenny: .... The question was asked of whether we ever watched Dermot Bannon in the evening. We are not going to get Dermot Bannon to design these houses with glass gable walls. They are going to be modest three-bedroom houses on public land that are affordable for people. That is what we need to provide. We do not need anything elaborate. We need proper homes for people. This Government has...

Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (8 May 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: ...the Government fails to deliver social and affordable homes. Less supply means higher house prices and unaffordable rents. These failures mean more and more of peoples' hard-earned wages being handed over to landlords and banks. It is hard to overstate the economic damage this is doing overall. The average age of the people who can buy houses is 40. This is the single biggest factor...

Eoin Ó Broin: ...at prices that working people can actually afford; — this means selling new homes to eligible purchasers at prices less than €300,000, depending on size and location; — under Sinn Féin's affordable leasehold purchase scheme: — the State pays for all land and site servicing related costs and retains ownership of the land, and makes a further contribution,...

Paul Donnelly: ...means selling new homes to eligible purchasers at prices of less than €300,000. Here is how we will do it under Sinn Féin’s affordable leasehold purchase scheme. The State will pay for all the land, site service and related costs, retain ownership of the land and, where necessary, make a further contribution so that development levies are waived to guarantee...
