Finance Bill 2022: Committee Stage Seanad Éireann — 2022-12-07 ============================================================ Seán Kyne (FG), Cultural and Educational Panel I welcome the Minister. We all agree that the help-to-buy scheme is a tremendous programme, supported by the Minister and the Government and pushed through in recent years with the support of the Houses. It has been a great initiative to help people to set up in their first home. In Galway, some 1,784 people have benefited from the scheme. Up to November of this year, approximately 37,330 have benefited from it nationally. Has the Minister examined the success of the initiative in terms of how it has worked and what future plans he might have? Does he intend to examine it further with a view to enhancing it over the coming years? --- Source: Houses of the Oireachtas. Licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).
