Housing Schemes
Dail Éireann — 2023-11-23
============================================================

Catherine Connolly (IND), Galway West

I am back again on the help-to-buy scheme. I am specifically asking the details of the analysis underpinning the decision to extend the scheme and the plans for phasing it out. I ask that in the context of a scheme that was introduced with a value of €40 million. That was the annual estimate. That has risen to €181 million in 2022 and the total cost at the moment is bordering on €1 billion, at €890.8 million.
