Social and Affordable Housing
Dail Éireann — 2021-05-05
============================================================

Mick Barry (PBP), Cork North-Central

Where the Minister left off is precisely where I want to begin, that is, the affordable housing scheme, particularly the shared equity element within it. The Minister says it will bring down housing prices, but it is not just his critics on the left, as many establishment politicians as well as establishment economists have spoken about the potential for this to increase prices. I would like the Minister to comment on the issue.
