‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Housing Finance. Restoring the mortgage subsidy
Summary
Burke asked the Minister to restore the mortgage subsidy; the Minister said the matter remained under review and blamed inadequate funding inherited from the previous Government.
The figures the Minister has given indicate the type of problem and the type of people who benefited from the mortgage subsidy which was introduced last April and I should like to know if the Minister is prepared to reconsider his decision of last July and restore the mortgage subsidy?
Comment on this
We always have such matters under review but I should like to point out to the Deputy that if he, before he left the Department of the Environment, had left us some finance we might have been able to deal with this. He completely undercost things and we had to make a decision.
