Mortgage access for young people

Summary

After a brief clarification, Senator Murnane O'Connor argues that young people should not be excluded from mortgage access because they do not qualify for local authority housing. She says the situation is unacceptable.

Does the Senator mean Senator Boyhan?

Comment on this

Yes, Senator Boyhan. He asked that the Minister be invited in here.

I thought the Senator said "Boylan".

Comment on this

No. Senator Boyhan asked for the Minister to be invited into the Seanad to address the issue of mortgages. It is an absolute disgrace that young people who want to apply for a mortgage and who do not qualify to be placed on the local authority housing list will be told that they cannot apply for a mortgage. That situation is unacceptable.
