Balance remaining on maximum HFA loan

Summary

Mrs. O'Rourke asked how much capital would remain after ten years on a maximum loan. The Minister undertook to provide the figure, while Deputies suggested it could be about £50,000 and called that an enormous burden.

What amount would be due by a person taking out the maximum loan of £22,500? What would be due on account of that loan by way of capital after ten years repayment?

Comment on this

I will let the Deputy have that information.

Would it be £50,000?

Comment on this

I believe it is in the region of £50,000 which, measured by any yardstick, constitutes an enormous burden to be placed on any couple or any person.

Comment on this

I do not think it would be that much. I will let the Deputy have that information when I receive it.
