Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2022-05-10
============================================================

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

Now let us talk about affordability. The Affordable Housing Act 2021 is in place. We have published the affordable purchase regulations. It is open. There will be people in affordable purchase homes this year. Deputy Ó Broin has neglected to mention Project Tosaigh and the delivery through the LDA. We will have hundreds of affordable purchase homes this year and hundreds more cost rental.
What is the Sinn Féin affordable purchase scheme? People need to know this. Eligibility for affordable housing would be set at a gross income of €55,000 for a single person and €85,000 for a couple. People like the garda and the nurse who are earning €44,000 per year, on the median of their grades, will not be eligible for affordable housing through Sinn Féin's housing plan. Deputy Ó Broin wrote this, or maybe he did not. This is Deputy Ó Broin's policy.
