Financial Resolution No. 5: General (Resumed)
Dail Éireann — 2024-10-02
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

The bottom line is Sinn Féin would screw first-time buyers. It would destroy them. It would get rid of help-to-buy and the first home schemes, the grants and would take away any support and assistance that is currently there. What we are saying to first-time buyers is that the help-to-buy scheme will be there until 2029. They can plan with certainty, save with certainty and be in a position to afford houses, as opposed to Sinn Féin's proposal.
