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

Fergus O'Dowd (FG), Louth

The Government's policies are working. The Minister referred to the first home and help-to-buy schemes. He visited Drogheda recently, but he may not be aware that, under those schemes, houses are being advertised for sale today at a mortgage rate of just under €1,000 per month, making them more affordable than renting there. We need more of the same. The schemes are working because Government policies are working and spending is happening. That is welcome.
