- Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (22 Oct 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: I am endeavouring to do so. I did not interrupt Deputy Ó Broin once. I know he gets a little bit hot-headed from time to time. The reality is his plan is full of holes. His promise of home ownership is an illusion. It is a convoluted illusion of leasehold affordable purchase that not one bank has said it would lend to. It is a scheme that would restrict to whom people could sell...

Darragh O'Brien: Deputy Ó Broin picks figures out of the sky because he believes they will be popular. The reality is the public sees through his alternative plan, which is a home someone will never own, because that it what Sinn Féin is proposing.

Réada Cronin: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta Ó Broin as an rún seo. It is clear that the Government's affordable purchase scheme is failing, yet the Minister is here trying to keep the charade going. House prices are continuing to spiral out of control, increasing by 10% in the past year alone. The Government's so-called affordable purchase homes, with prices ranging from...

Johnny Mythen: Housing is one of the greatest problems facing our country today. From Dubai to Toronto to New York and from Canada to Australia, we have lost another generation of young people. They are leaving because they simply cannot afford to buy or rent a home in their own country. Domestically, our young people have lost any hope of ever owning a home of their own. Rents and house prices have...

They were evicted from their property because their landlord was selling up. They are both working and have good jobs. They work damn hard. In any normal, functioning society, those people would, without question, be able to buy their own home....

We did not have to see this report to know that in Limerick city, where I live, no properties are available to rent under the HAP scheme. The report found that 12 of the 16 areas analysed...
