Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 April 2010
190 Deputy Mary Upton asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the conditions for eligibility for house purchase loans from local government; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17108/10]
View answerTwo types of house purchase loan are available from local authorities: standard annuity loans targeted at lower income first time buyers and those under the Home Choice Loan scheme which are available to qualifying middle income first time buyers affected by the credit crunch. The terms and conditions governing the operation, including eligibility terms, of annuity mortgages and the Home Choice Loan are set out under the Housing (Local Authority Loans) Regulations 2009 and the Housing (Home Choice Loan) Regulations 2009 respectively. These are available on my Department's website, www.environ.ie.
