Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2024-10-22
============================================================

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

I am endeavouring to do so. I did not interrupt Deputy Ó Broin once. I know he gets a little bit hot-headed from time to time. The reality is his plan is full of holes. His promise of home ownership is an illusion. It is a convoluted illusion of leasehold affordable purchase that not one bank has said it would lend to. It is a scheme that would restrict to whom people could sell their property and create a two-tier affordable housing system and a two-tier mortgage system. Deputy Ó Broin knows it will not work. That is why he has not responded to any of the correspondence I have sent him. That is why he cannot answer that in any of the debates.
