Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP), Dún Laoghaire

I note the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage is sitting beside the Taoiseach. The Killian Woods report from last weekend on the shared equity affordable housing scheme would seem to suggest that the Government's affordable housing plan is looking increasingly like it is going to be completely defunct. I do not agree with that scheme because I think it is chasing already unaffordable house prices. It now appears that the house prices for all the new builds that are coming, particularly in Dublin, for the most part are going to be way in excess of the caps for the scheme. In other words, they are going to be next to useless. What does the Minister have to say?
