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...

Seanad: Housing: Statements (Resumed) (20 Feb 2018)

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. That is why at the early stages when the Government was formed the Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness strategy was put together. The idea was to focus the minds of all Departments and Government and to make housing the 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...

Damien English: ...to the housing challenges. I will highlight the actions we have taken and are taking to increase the social housing stock and meet the needs of those on the waiting lists and those at risk of becoming homeless, as well as to drive the increased supply of new housing across all tenures and maximise our existing housing stock to meet current and future needs. I recognise that, in doing...

Her general point about the lack of action by many local authorities is, however, true and this is an issue with which I will be dealing in the coming months.

Leaders' Questions (25 Jan 2018)

Simon Coveney: ...are up by almost 50% and mortgage approvals are up significantly. The property market is moving in the right direction although there are still significant pressures to deal with when it comes to public policy. The Deputy seems to be suggesting that the schemes we have announced, particularly the Rebuilding Ireland home loan scheme, will not have a positive impact on people. Let us...

Eoghan Murphy: ...dispute the need to make sure that we have proper protections for tenants. I do not think that we have a mature rental market in this country. We need to try to develop one because renting is becoming more of a lifestyle choice for a lot of people. However, there are many who are forced to rent who would rather be able to buy. That is why we have been focusing more on affordability for...

Residential Tenancies (Amendment) Bill 2018 Second Stage: Second Stage [Private Members] (23 Jan 2018)

Damien English: I welcome the opportunity to say a few words on the Bill. We have discussed the rental sector here a great deal along with housing in general over the last number of years. It is clear that the rental sector must be a more attractive choice for tenants and a safe and viable investment choice for investors. It is the balance we are trying to get right at all times. As Deputy Cowen noted...

Order of Business (23 Jan 2018)

Eoghan Murphy: One point to note at the outset is that the Rebuilding Ireland home loan announced yesterday applies to self-build as well and it will be useful to those who are looking to build homes around the country. One of the key goals we are trying to achieve with the national planning framework which we are finalising at present is clarifying issues in relation to planning around the country....

Leaders' Questions (23 Jan 2018)

Leo Varadkar: ...Eoghan Murphy, brought the proposals forward yesterday. It is for people who have not been able to get a mortgage from the bank so they can go to their local authority and secure a low-interest loan with a guaranteed interest rate for 30 years, which I believe is a positive offer. I am aware there were a huge number of calls being made to the authorities about the Rebuilding Ireland loan...

Jerry Buttimer: ...House. The Minister has reopened several beds through the HSE. We have had a debate on the matter in the House. Senator Hopkins has raised this matter as well. I am happy to have the Minister come to the House, but perhaps Senator Boyhan could put in a request for a Commencement matter tomorrow to get his issue resolved. Senator Humphreys raised the matter of affordable housing. I...

Written Answers — Department of Finance: Small and Medium Enterprises Supports (30 Nov 2017)
