Seanad Éireann — 2021-06-18
============================================================

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

I move amendment No. 8:
In page 12, between lines 23 and 24, to insert the following:
“(8) Notwithstanding anything in subsection (7) and (8) , a housing authority may set out additional criteria for eligibility of applicants for a specific affordable housing purchase arrangement with respect to income and asset thresholds and any other dwellings held under an affordable housing purchase arrangement by the applicant, with regard to ensuring access to affordable purchase for persons from each income quintile within a housing authority area and such other matters as may be outlined under section 6(4) .”.
I had intended to change slightly-----
