Summary

Sherlock asked whether single people could access loans despite the hardship of existing housing costs. The Minister envisaged that they could use the agency.

Joe Sherlock Mr. Sherlock Sinn Féin the Workers Party

Is it envisaged that provision will be made for grants to single people in view of the great hardship on people who, if they get a local authority loan and have to pay £35 to £40 in rent, are prevented from taking any further steps to provide their own housing if they get married? Does the Minister intend to make provision for granting the loan to single people?

As Deputy Sherlock is aware, single people can still get loans from building societies. I would envisage that single people could use this agency.
