Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 26 September 2019
207. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of Rebuilding Ireland home loan applications by local authority; the number of such loans approved by each local authority; and the number of loans drawn down by each local authority to date in 2019, in tabular form. [39158/19]
View answerThe Housing Agency provides a central support service which assesses applications for the Rebuilding Ireland Home Loan on behalf of local authorities and makes recommendations to the authorities to approve or refuse applications.
I have asked the Agency to compile figures on the numbers of valid applications that it has assessed and recommended to approve for this year. From 1st January 2019 to the end of August 2019, the Housing Agency had assessed 1,864 applications. Of these, it had recommended 940 for approval.
