Questions on Promised Legislation (28 Mar 2018)

Eoghan Murphy: It is difficult for me to speak to individual cases. If the Deputy wishes to give me the details of the case to which he refers, I will look into it. Under the Rebuilding Ireland home loan, people who have separated and come from former relationships are entitled to access that home loan scheme. This is the first tranche, related to the €200 million fund. We are reviewing the...

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...instance on Sunday in an article in The Sunday Business Post that shocked even me, and it takes a fair bit to shock me, concerning Richard Barrett, a developer, formerly of Treasury Holdings, whose loans the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA, had to buy out for €1 billion with public money.

Eoghan Murphy: One of the main aims of Rebuilding Ireland was the construction of 50,000 social housing homes and their addition to the social housing stock over the period of the five-year plan. The additional funding secured at the time of the last budget for the five-year capital plan we have for Rebuilding Ireland means that we can now meet the joint committee's recommendation that 50,000 new homes be...

Damien English: ...no matter what his or her party or background. Certainly, as a Government, it is a key priority for us. It is priority number one.

...is the presence of support from the state, direct or indirect, to house people in the social housing sector, including housing associations or approved housing bodies as they are known in Ireland.

Other Questions: Housing Provision (31 Jan 2018)

Eoghan Murphy: I thank the Deputy for welcoming the initiatives. People were hit very badly by the economic crash that occurred following the bank bailout in 2008 and the intervention from the IMF and ECB in 2010. What we saw was a collapse in property prices across the country of somewhere in the region of 54% from a very high peak. As we look at escalating property prices now, year on year, prices are...

Eoghan Murphy: I do not understand the contradiction in the point made by the Deputy. He should not look at any one measure in isolation. The Rebuilding Ireland home loan and affordable purchase schemes are only part of the affordability measures we have introduced. To date, we have introduced the An Bord Pleanála fast-track process to remove time and costs from the process for developers. It is...

I recognise that, in doing...

Simon Coveney: ...are up by almost 50% and mortgage approvals are up significantly.

That is why we have been focusing more on affordability for...
