Housing Provision
Dail Éireann — 2022-09-28
============================================================

Michael McNamara (IND), Clare

Affordable housing schemes were introduced for the large and growing cohort of people who did not qualify for social housing but did not earn enough to buy a home or qualify for a mortgage. As I understand it, there are three different schemes. Two of them involve a loan that is essentially a top-up between the mortgage such people could raise on the open market and the price of a house. Only one of those schemes involves local authorities building houses to sell to people at an affordable rate. That is the local authority affordable purchase scheme. How many houses in Clare will be or have been built under that scheme? Are there any plans for an increase?
