Affordable Housing Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2021-06-04
============================================================

Fintan Warfield (SF), Cultural and Educational Panel

I will only briefly go over what has been said. To be clear, for the record, what Sinn Féin wants is a statement of the proposed initial maximum rent to be calculated in such a manner that it would be spread over 50 years. The key point that has been mentioned is security of tenure. The longer the repayment period, the lower the rent. We see that in cost-rental models like the Vienna model. I will not rehash what has been said. I would welcome the Minister of State's contribution.
