‹ Order of Business Shared ownership housing scheme
Summary
Deputy Lowry asks whether the housing Bill will address difficulties trapping families in the shared ownership scheme and provide redress.
My question relates to the housing (miscellaneous provisions)(No. 2) Bill. Will the Tánaiste inform the House whether the serious difficulties that have arisen with the shared ownership scheme will be legislated for within that Bill? The shared ownership scheme was brought in to assist and support low-income families to buy a house.
Comment on this
At the moment thousands of families are trapped in the scheme. The scheme has been stood down but we need redress for those who are in the scheme at the moment.
