Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

The majority are double-income families. No question, and I acknowledge that. The Deputy makes a fair point in that regard. It is a combination of factors, but there has been huge take-up in respect of the help-to-buy scheme. The first home scheme is particularly geared towards trying to help people bridge the gap in the context of what a house costs, with the State providing equity to make up the balance in order to enable people to afford to buy homes. We will continue to work at it.
