I support and speak now in support of Senator Gavan's point. As my colleague, Deputy Nash, said in the Dáil we see this as a deadweight to the help-to-buy policies described in section 8 which will simply push up profits and is what concerns us as it will be effectively be subsidising home purchase. I have also received an email concerned about what happens if someone has already signed a contract prior to 23 July in which case he or she will not be covered by it. We are also opposed to the section.
