Question:706 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for the Environment Heritage and Local Government the document in which, under the affordable housing scheme, it is set down by his Department that applicants may not switch to a loan from a private lending institution within the first three years, if the cost of the home exceeds the maximum annuity loan and the applicant must use the shared ownership scheme; the reason this is the case; if his attention has been drawn to the significant extra costs imposed on applicants due to these restrictions; and if he will review it.
