Housing Policy
Dail Éireann — 2020-07-23
============================================================

Emer Higgins (FG), Dublin Mid-West

We all know how badly needed social and affordable housing is. No one should be living in homeless hubs or caught in a never-ending rental trap. However, it is extremely difficult for people who are paying high rents to also save for mortgage deposits. Covid-19 will exacerbate this problem for many people, couples and families. When will the criteria for affordable purchase and cost-rental housing be published?
