Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on the Programme for Government: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (20 Apr 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the Chairman and the Ministers for their presentations. My questions are very specific for the Minister, Deputy O’Brien, so perhaps we might just rattle through them in order. My understanding is the negotiations between Government and the Banking and Payments Federation Ireland for the banks’ participation in the shared equity loan scheme have concluded. Will the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on the Programme for Government: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (20 Apr 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: The Minister may be surprised that I already know what the rates are and my concern is on the basis of what I am hearing. Somebody, for example, who takes out a shared equity loan to the maximum extent of €100,000 could actually end up owing an additional €50,000 minimum on top of that, and that is not taking into account the increased value of the property. Will the Minister...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on the Programme for Government: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (20 Apr 2021)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on the Programme for Government: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (20 Apr 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: Given the Minister has not answered any of those questions, my last question is this. His predecessors would come into this committee four times a year for quarterly updates on the implementation of the programme for government. The Minister has been in office for nine months and the committee has written to him several times. This is the first time he has come in for this purpose, and it...

Vote 16 - Valuation Office (Revised)
Vote 23 - Property Registration Authority (Revised)
Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Revised) (20 Apr 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have a couple of quick questions so that we have time for Deputy O'Donoghue too. Will the Minister tell us from which programme the €214 million has been carried over? I assume the bulk of it is in social housing for local authorities but maybe the Minister will confirm that. Covid obviously played a significant role in the drop in construction output last year. Social housing...
