Catherine Connolly: Cuirim fáilte roimh Mr. Roberts. He is welcome and I thank him. It is good to have him here and to get an outside perspective. I apologise; I was here earlier, left and returned, so I have missed some of the meeting. I do read documents, however, so I look forward to reading the submission in detail. Wales changed to the standard scheme ten years ago. It is ten years in...

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Schemes (21 Sep 2021)
Catherine Connolly: I come to this from a different perspective. I have had the opportunity to read the review of the help-to-buy scheme. I note from the review that the scheme has cost more than four times what was anticipated. This year alone, it will cost €177 million. It was introduced as a temporary scheme. It was announced in 2016, it came into operation in 2017 and as the Minister said, was...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Schemes (21 Sep 2021)
Catherine Connolly: I am concerned with the Minister's answer in the sense that I would like it confirmed that there will be a formal review of this scheme. A formal review has not been carried out in three years and if the Minister is to extend the scheme, I would it confirmed that there would be one. It has been pointed out by the ESRI and Social Justice Ireland that the scheme has contributed to house...

It sets out to close a loophole but that does not fully capture what has happened, with certain builders being able to avoid the 20% obligation right up to 2026 if they have bought land in the past five years and have planning permission that covers them up to 2026. As a previous...
