Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Social and Affordable Housing: Discussion (22 Mar 2022)

John Cummins: I allowed the Senator some latitude because we have time. It is my turn to put questions and it is not that I am using the position to make it my turn. The Rebuilding Ireland home loan is now the local authority home loan and it is an excellent product that provides finance to enable people to get their foot on the ladder. Perhaps the witnesses might correct me but I believe there was a...

It is important to note that the limits introduced at that time also reflected a blanket increase of €5,000 introduced prior to the new system coming into operation, in order to broaden the base from which social housing tenants are drawn, both promoting sustainable communities and also providing a degree of future-proofing. Given...

Victor Boyhan: ...very valid points in what is a very concise and to-the-point presentation, for which I thank Mr. Farrell because it is important to get to the kernel of the issue.

Quarterly Report on Housing: Statements (6 Jul 2017)

Joan Collins: I welcome this debate on the quarterly report on housing and Rebuilding Ireland. Unfortunately, all we have seen recently is targets with nothing happening on the ground. The housing crisis is a social emergency and poses a major risk to the economy. However, the Government policy response has not been adequate and, as far as I can see, has worsened the crisis. The core failing is the...

Micheál Martin: ...we go back again, there is no guarantee of a conclusion. It could take another ten to 15 years. That is a realistic perspective on it. The key issue Deputy Conway-Walsh raised in terms of the Rebuilding Ireland home loan scheme is provided for, as I understand it, in terms of people who are divorced or separated. I will come back to the Deputy on it but my understanding is that they...

Seán Fleming: ...how these schemes work. I know of couples who have split up, legally separated and sold the family home. They might have ended up with €20,000 having cleared the mortgage. However, under the Rebuilding Ireland home loan scheme, one of the parties must still live in the original house. I think I am correct in saying that. Under the scheme, a loan will be given to the person who...

Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (16 May 2018) See 2 other results from this debate

Michael Moynihan: I compliment Deputy Darragh O'Brien on tabling the motion. I will focus on two points in the short time available. On the issue of affordable housing, Deputy O'Brien referred to the home loans provided under Rebuilding Ireland. The affordable loans scheme is a farce because no approvals are coming through. This new mechanism, which is intended to help people on lower incomes to secure...

Anthony Lawlor: ...Development Agency, LDA, which has been allocated €1.25 billion, had its first board meeting last week. When is it hoped to see some sort of progress with at least seeing planning applications coming forward from the LDA in respect of the land that it has?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Home Loan Scheme (11 Jun 2019)

Eoghan Murphy: There are national criteria for how the Rebuilding Ireland home loan is to be implemented. As I stated, I brought together a group of people to ensure those criteria are being applied consistently across local authority areas. Each local authority has its own credit committee. After an application is approved by the Housing Agency, which acts as a clearing house or backstop, it is up to...

Now that we have done the regulations it will be open to each local authority to open its scheme depending on when it sees the houses coming to market through its own local authority lands and what it has programmed.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Affordable Housing Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Feb 2021)

Dr. Conor O'Toole: I will come in on the calibration of the income limits in the scheme because there are a couple of issues to consider. There are pros and cons to hard income limits. For example, there is always someone on the far side of the income limit who is likely to be just as needy as someone on the near side. Schemes like this are not without their costs. If we take a step back...
