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

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

We will bring forward a plan in the autumn and we will be looking for input from Members of all parties and none. We do not want to delay this. People have waited too long for an affordable purchase scheme. We can deliver homes quite quickly under some of the options that I am also looking at. Fundamentally, there is a whole generation of people to whom the Deputy referred, including her friends in the constituency, who feel right now they have no hope of ever owning their own home. We are going to change that and I, as housing Minister, am absolutely convinced that we will. This is a priority for me on which we are working every day. This autumn I intend to launch the plan and bring it forward. Let us get moving on it to deliver affordable homes for our people.
