- Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Oct 2024)
Thomas Gould: On cost rental, 27 homes are planned for Cork city in 2024 and none for next year. Cork City Council hit its target earlier than probably most local authorities, but the problem is that the targets for cost rental in Cork were so low that the council will finish them this year and there are none in the pipeline. I have issues with cost rental in Cork because I do not think it is as...

Darragh O'Brien: I thank Members for their input. This is important legislation, which we debated on Second Stage as well. It will be appreciated by the approved housing body sector to deal with the AHBRA registration issue, and to legislate for the cost-rental tenant in situ scheme and for changes we have just discussed with regard to cost rental as the sector continues to grow throughout the country. I...

- Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Oct 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: This is one of the sections of the Bill I was referring to yesterday when I said it would have been preferable if this had gone through the ordinary legislative process. If I may, I will take a second to highlight the particular concern. Why have cost rental landlords like the LDA asked for this provision? It is something they have been very open about in their conversations with many of...
- Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Oct 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: I have met cost rental tenants, single individuals, who have rented cost rental properties on their own. This mechanism is not brought in as a cost reduction measure for the AHB partners or indeed the LDA partners. The Deputy will have a view on that. I will just say it is not. As the Deputy has outlined already, at different times of their lives, people may want to share. Right now, the...
- Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Oct 2024)
Danny Healy-Rae: I have a question for the Minister as well. He seems to be doing a lot of work in cost rental and affordable homes for tenants. It does not seem to be manifesting itself in Kerry. The question I have to ask the Minister is about tenant purchase schemes, people who wish to purchase their own local authority house. They cannot purchase it if the house was built after 2015. That is what is...

Darragh O'Brien: Through the Chair, this is not oral questions. We are dealing with important legislation here. A Leas-Cheann Comhairle, we can go down the road of me answering questions on every aspect of housing policy. Just to be fair to Deputy Healy-Rae on this, in respect of tenant purchase schemes through local authorities, they exist and are in place right now. The help to buy grant is a matter for...
