‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - SDA Loans. Shared ownership for rural homebuilders
Summary
Harte proposed a shared-ownership scheme to make housebuilding affordable for people whose incomes rule out SDA loans; the Chair ruled it a separate question.
This is the final one. I am sure the Minister will appreciate that many SDA loans are prohibited as far as incomes in rural Ireland are concerned. Would the Minister consider introducing a scheme of shared ownership where the State would own half of the house and the tenant could buy the other half? This would make it more attractive for people to build their own houses.
Comment on this
It is a very important supplementary and should be considered in relation to SDA loans which have now become prohibitive because of the inflation rate.
