Housing Schemes
Dail Éireann — 2024-05-30
============================================================

Pádraig O'Sullivan (FF), Cork North-Central

I concur with the Minister. Many people in the industry would say that without the likes of the first home scheme and all the other initiatives we have spoken about, homes would be unaffordable for a certain cohort. I support the scheme and am fully with the Minister.
Perhaps he could speak to his intention to keep the scheme going if the current Government is re-elected and if he remains in office for the coming years. Perhaps he would speak to his intentions, going forward.
I reiterate that the scheme provides choice for people. We get knocked back an awful lot, as we saw earlier this morning, but when schemes are working, the more the Minister’s opponents decry what he is doing, the more success he is having.
