Darragh O'Brien: The Deputy's arrogance knows no limits and I would check it if I were him. We have delivered 2,180 cost-rental homes from nothing, and it might disappoint him to hear that the pipeline of cost rental amounts to 7,700 homes. Scaling up the delivery of cost rental, a tenure that did not exist before, will have a very positive impact on the private rental market as well. I meet those people...
- Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (22 Oct 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Sinn Féin's alternative housing plan, A Home of Your Own, sets out what would be the most ambitious public housing programme in the history of the State. We would deliver more than twice the number of social homes that have been delivered in the past five years by this Government and about ten times as many affordable homes. The big difference is that those homes would be genuinely...

Housing Schemes
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Housing Schemes (22 Oct 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: 50. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government the reason an open market valuation is being used to establish the price of homes under the Government’s affordable purchase scheme rather than all-in development costs. [43227/24]
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Housing Schemes (22 Oct 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Can the Minister explain why he is charging people purchasing homes under his so-called affordable purchase scheme more than the actual cost of delivering those homes? As he knows, he uses open market value rather than full or all-in development costs. This means that if people want to own their homes outright, they do not just have to pay the full cost that the local authority or Land...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Housing Schemes (22 Oct 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: Affordability and the chance to own your own home are at the heart of this Government’s housing policy. Since 2021, over 8,500 housing supports have been delivered through the various measures we have established and are implementing with our delivery partners. Since the launch of Housing for All, close to 1,000 local authority affordable purchase homes at upfront affordable...

Eoin Ó Broin: Of course the Minister failed to answer the question. It could be that he does not understand the details of his scheme or it could be he does not want people to know how it works. Let me remind him. For one of the three-bed terraced units in Shanganagh Castle - a scheme he launched so enthusiastically very recently - the full cost if the purchaser wants to own the home outright is...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Housing Schemes (22 Oct 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: These schemes are working. We did launch Shanganagh Castle with enthusiasm because it is a wonderful development. I will invite the Deputy to visit Shanganagh Castle to see it because they are real homes, not an illusion of homes, for real people. I confidently predict every one of them will be sold. Households pay what they can afford, although the value of the home may be much higher....
