Housing Provision
Dail Éireann — 2023-05-18
============================================================

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

It is interesting the Deputy likes to dismiss the first home scheme, which, by the way, has had an excellent start. We have issued more eligibility certificates and approved more people to buy their homes in the first three months of this year than we did in the last six months of last year. It is a real way that people, many of whom are renting, bridge the gap between the finance that they have and what they need. It is working well. I am conscious Deputy Ó Broin would scrap that as well, as he would scrap the help-to-buy grant-----
