- Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Oct 2024)

That is what is...

- Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Oct 2024)
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...

- Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Oct 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I will not stop on each of these sections but I would like to ask a couple of questions further to my comments yesterday around the allocation scheme.

- Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Oct 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: Tomorrow's meeting of the Oireachtas joint committee will be important as well. The Deputy will be able to look in further detail and ask further questions. I appreciate that he asked questions on Second Stage as well. This is the evolution of cost rental, a model that did not exist here less than three years ago. As we build up that scale, we will consider what might be a scheme of...
