The main Opposition party wants to scrap that scheme-----
Darragh O'Brien
Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 1,054 of 1,062 decisive votes (4 abstentions excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.

Certainly. I will do my level best. We have continued to support home ownership through the help-to-buy grant. Nearly 40,000 households have been supported. When someone comes into his constituency office, does the Deputy or his colleagues advise them of the help-to-buy grant? Does he tell them they should not get the tax they have paid back in their pocket to help them with their deposit? Sinn Féin have been on record as saying that it will scrap that support that has helped 40,000 households to purchase their own…

We have put in place protections for renters also, from increased notice to quit periods, to a 2% permissible rent increase in the RPZs. We have had to delicately balance the rights of renters and the rights of property owners so as not to shrink the rental market any further-----

The party opposite want to take a sledgehammer to that and cause a further flight of landlords form the market, which will make the situation even worse.
