- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh (Atógail) - Priority Questions (Resumed): Defective Building Materials (22 Oct 2024)
Malcolm Noonan: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta. As the Deputy is aware, the defective concrete blocks, DBC, grant scheme is neither a redress nor a compensation scheme, rather a grant scheme of last resort to enable affected homeowners to remediate homes. The scheme facilitates the remediation of existing houses that have been damaged by the use of defective concrete blocks. The construction of new...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Housing Schemes (22 Oct 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Of course, the big difference between our scheme and the Government's scheme is that in ours, the purchaser pays €250,000 and owns the home outright. Under the Government’s scheme, they will pay €550,000. The Minister still has not answered my simple question, which I will put again as plainly as I can. I suspect he knows the answer but does not have the courage to...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Housing Schemes (22 Oct 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: The facts are, based on the returns received from local authorities for transactions completed this year, that the average upfront affordability purchase price paid by borrowers is €267,000 for a range of two-, three- and four-bedroom homes. Look at the difference between the scheme that is working on the ground and Sinn Féin's scheme, where purchasers do not even own the land...

Eoin Ó Broin: It is the Minister's unwillingness to answer the question that is amusing.

Darragh O'Brien: -----he would have to deliver homes. He knows the glossy brochure that Sinn Féin published will not do that, given he could not state earlier, even in respect of the home-you'll-never-own plan, that anyone will even lend to it. Sinn Féin will not even get development finance to lend to it.

Eoin Ó Broin: 51. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government to confirm the price of the one-, two- and three-bedroom cost-rental units in Oscar Traynor Road, O'Devaney Gardens and Shanganagh Castle. [43228/24]

Darragh O'Brien: I listened very intently to the Deputy and he did not answer the question.

Eoin Ó Broin: -----I am happy to discuss it with him again. I hope I might have a better chance of getting a straight answer to this straight question. There are three cost-rental schemes, at Shanganagh Castle, O'Devaney Gardens and Oscar Traynor Road. The contracts for all those cost-rental schemes have been signed. Will the Minister put on the record of the Dáil what the cost of renting a...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Housing Schemes (22 Oct 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: We have already seen that the public are responding to cost rental. The Deputy knows that and it might disappoint him, but the Government's Housing for All plan, as he knows, targets the delivery of 18,000 cost-rental homes by approved housing bodies, AHBs, the Land Development Agency, which the Deputy would abolish, and local authorities, although he has not yet said how Sinn Féin will...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Housing Schemes (22 Oct 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: It is remarkable that the Minister said the rents have not yet been finalised, because they have been. We know that because John Coleman from the Land Development Agency told an Oireachtas committee that. Contrary to the information the Minister has put before us, we do know that the rents for a one-bedroom unit in Shanganagh will be €1,250 a month-----

Darragh O'Brien: That is what I said.
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Housing Schemes (22 Oct 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: -----but we also know that rents for a two-bedroom unit will be €1,520 and that those for a three-bedroom unit will be €1,700. That is the single highest cost rent for a three-bedroom or a two-bedroom unit delivered to date. I also understand that Dublin City Council has signed the contracts with Tuath and Clúid for the cost rentals in O'Devaney Gardens and Oscar...

Darragh O'Brien: I have answered the question honestly on the record of the Dáil. I do not have a track record of misleading the Dáil. I have always been open and honest with people. The Deputy can laugh at that but his party's behaviour over recent weeks in that regard has been nothing short of reprehensible, so I do not think it is something to laugh about. I am not going to conflate the two...

Eoin Ó Broin: It is simply factually incorrect for the Minister to come to the Dáil and say the rents on those three projects have not been finalised. They have been. The legal contracts have been signed and the Minister knows that, and people can judge that for themselves. I am a strong advocate of cost rental - I have argued for it for more than two decades - and the Minister knows I supported...
