Seanad: Affordable Housing Bill 2021: Second Stage (17 May 2021)

Jerry Buttimer: Many of us have been concerned that a generation is being left out of reach of home ownership.

It is true that Rebuilding Ireland home loan approvals have been down this year because of Covid-19 and significantly so in quarters 1 and 2. The pandemic impacted significantly on the building sector because of the first lockdown, and that has...
