Verona Murphy: I return to my initial point. We have an affordability issue, which is clear if the average price is €319,000 in the context of our mortgage rules. There is a big gap that Ms Deering does not seem to be identifying with. The HBFI was set up to make housing more affordable by building more. If the supply issue is cured, houses become cheaper. What has actually happened is that the...

Verona Murphy: I am sorry; that is not what I asked Ms Deering. Somebody on €250,000 a year will never resonate with the reality of someone with an average income who is trying to get a mortgage. People watching today's meeting will say that neither Ms Deering nor I know what we are talking about. The reality is that the HBFI appears to have made houses less affordable.

Verona Murphy: Not only is it a lot of money, it is not even accessible for somebody on a normal wage who is living in County Wexford, never mind Dublin. Does Ms Deering hear what we are saying? This is about public moneys and where they are going. I am telling Ms Deering that affordability has decreased by 4% since the HBFI was set up. Does Ms Deering propose to change that and make it a positive as...

Verona Murphy: I thank all the witnesses. I have a couple of brief questions. Am I correct that all schemes that are funded must have full planning permission?

(3 Mar 2022)

Verona Murphy: Going back to the figure of €181 million, we are still only thereabouts. The figure is not increasing vastly. It is not increasing at the rate at which one would expect to see houses transpire. However, that is okay. It has been alluded to that builders are availing of HBFI finance, that is, larger developers who are then basically lending the money to smaller builders. Is that...
