Affordable Housing Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2021-06-18
============================================================

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

I move amendment No. 10:
In page 13, after line 38, to insert the following:
“12. Where a dwelling is being made available for affordable purchase under a Part V agreement under section (5)(b), that dwelling shall be made available for affordable purchase according to such criteria of affordability as may be set out by the Minister in regulation or by the relevant housing authority, and there shall be no obligation on a housing authority or State body to provide any financial contribution above such an agreed affordable threshold.”.
On the basis of the engagement with the Minister of State on this, and that he will scrutinise how this issue can be clarified, I withdraw the amendment.
