An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business Dail Éireann — 2022-09-20 ============================================================ Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central There are different levels of affordability in different locations, taking into account the costs involved in developing a particular site and so forth. Our main aim and target is to get housing as affordable as we possibly can for people and, through other schemes such as the first home scheme, to make houses that young people wish to buy affordable also. It is not just the affordable housing scheme the local authorities are doing but also the first home scheme, the shared equity and help-to-buy schemes and a range of other measures that we are deploying to make housing more affordable for people. --- Source: Houses of the Oireachtas.
