2nd March 2021 - Richard Bruton TD
Opposition claims that a State scheme to assist home ownership will result in a price spiral are false, completely exaggerated and ill founded, the Fine Gael Parliamentary Party Chairman has said.
Deputy Richard Bruton said the shared equity scheme, which involves the State investing in the cost of new houses, will move demand in the housing market and will bring a welcome shift in the supply mix to starter homes.
The Dublin TD also said it was strangely ironic that Sinn Fein are expressing concern about supply when they have consistently blocked mixed development on council lands and rezonings – intended to release new supply.
