Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 May 2005
422 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the reason persons who have purchased homes through the affordable housing scheme with the assistance of the shared ownership scheme are being denied the option to transfer to 100% mortgage with Dublin City Council (details supplied).

View answer
Persons who have purchased an affordable house by way of shared ownership are entitled to purchase their house outright at any stage. This can normally be done by means of a further loan from the local authority in respect of the outstanding share of the house. It is understood that Dublin City Council are in discussion with the person referred to over arrangements appropriate to the case concerned.
