Raise the Roof: Motion [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2022-07-12
============================================================

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

Through the Chair, absolutely.
What I have attempted to do this evening is to put forward some of the policies that are taking hold and are working. I will try again to restate the facts. The first home scheme is going to help thousands of people who are in a rental trap and who have saved and are working hard to be able to own their own home at an affordable rate that is not a second mortgage. Hundreds already have responded to this. The first applications are being approved and on top of that we are going to deliver the first affordable purchase homes, through local authorities, in a generation with purchase prices starting from €166,000. We will deliver that and build up supply. It is unfortunate, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle, that I have been interrupted so many times-----
