Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Home Loan Scheme (9 Jul 2019)

Michael McGrath: My Topical Issue matter relates to the Rebuilding Ireland home loan scheme. This is an effort to get to the bottom of where exactly in the process stands the proposed increase in the fund. As the Minister of State is well aware, the initial fund of €200 million which has been in place since early 2018 is not going to be anywhere near enough to meet demand. The Government has stated...

Approximately 1,000 more people have been helped with the Rebuilding Ireland home loan to get a low interest rate home loan to be able to buy their own home. The other area is supply.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Jun 2019)

Damien English: Supply is part of the issue in this regard. As the third year of Rebuilding Ireland draws to a close, supply is certainly on the up. We should see more than 22,000 houses come into the system this year. Many of these will be in County Louth because many houses are being delivered in the greater Dublin region. That will help. We are also intervening to make houses more affordable...

Catherine Noone: ...devices for working on. Senator Lombard raised the issue of the recount. He makes an excellent point, namely, that there are 750,000 ballots that are two feet long that must be recounted over the coming hours. It is a significant resource issue so it is certainly something we should revisit as an issue for debate. I congratulate Senator Byrne who led the campaign regarding the...

Eoin Ó Broin: ...out. Perhaps I did not explain my question on co-living clearly enough so I will go through it again because the Minister did not answer it. Consider a situation where an institutional investor comes in and gets planning permission to build a co-living facility, as the Minister describes them, which is then inhabited by the kinds of people the Minister has said might choose to live...
