Eoghan Murphy: ...s point that people can get less than what they applied for and there is a bigger gap to fill when making up the difference. Even the 10% requirement can be structured so that only 3% of it has to come from the person's savings. There are further mechanisms to assist there. Ultimately, when we consider the approval of a Rebuilding Ireland home loan it is linked to the person's ability...

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...

Eoghan Murphy: ...cost of housing accommodation across the country. 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...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (28 Sep 2021)

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...

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. Mr. Farrell made the point that Rebuilding Ireland will be reviewed, as the Minister has said. It is timely that the Irish League of Credit Unions' proposal be looked at again in the context of the Government's commitment. As...

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...

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...

Written Answers — Department of Housing, Planning, and Local Government: Home Loan Scheme (10 Oct 2019)

Eoghan Murphy: When the Rebuilding Ireland Home Loan (RIHL) scheme was initially being developed, it was estimated that the drawdown of loans would be approximately €200 million over three years.  However, the RIHL proved to be more successful than initially anticipated. My officials began engaging with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in October 2018 when higher lending...

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...

Other Questions: Housing Provision (31 Jan 2018)

Eoghan Murphy: I thank the Deputy for welcoming the initiatives. People were hit very badly by the economic crash that occurred following the bank bailout in 2008 and the intervention from the IMF and ECB in 2010. What we saw was a collapse in property prices across the country of somewhere in the region of 54% from a very high peak. As we look at escalating property prices now, year on year, prices are...

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? The Home Building Finance Ireland scheme is excellent. It gives an opportunity to people who cannot get loans from major...

Eoin Ó Broin: ...aid rules? My understanding is that it would not be but that point of clarity would be very useful. Second, it is about the Government's intention here. The Government's intention, as this loan facility has been presented, is to lend at potentially slightly higher commercial rates to builders than they would get from the mainstream banking finance, but because it would be a larger...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Home Loan Scheme (27 Mar 2019)

John Paul Phelan: I will try to give the Deputy as much information as possible but I will have to revert to her with some specific details at a later date. Following a review of the two existing home loan schemes, namely the house purchase loan and the home choice loan, the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, introduced a new loan offering, known as the Rebuilding...

Seanad: Credit Guarantee (Amendment) Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages (23 Jul 2020)

Damien English: We are trying to support businesses and support the banks in getting money out to them at a cheaper rate. That is what we are trying to do. There is no cost to the State if the loan is successful, and that is a success all around because we want businesses to be sustained, to survive, thrive and grow. I accept that the banks still have a lot of work to do to rebuild that trust between them...

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...
