Finance Bill 2022: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2022-12-07
============================================================

Seán Kyne (FG), Cultural and Educational Panel

I thank the Minister for the response. We will not push the recommendation. It is regrettable that Sinn Féin does not want to help people to buy a home and would deny assistance to those who have benefited from the scheme. More than 1,784 people in Galway and some 37,000 nationally have to date been assisted to get their feet on the property ladder via the tax rebate under the help-to-buy scheme. It is important to acknowledge that.
