Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 June 2020
1215. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of capital assistance scheme and capital loan and subsidy scheme funded social housing units which have exited their original 20 or 30 mortgages; and his plans with respect to the future use of the units by approved housing bodies. [8989/20]
View answerAs mortgages under the Capital Assistance Scheme (CAS) and the Capital Loan and Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) are between local authorities and the relevant AHBs, information on the position of the mortgages is not held by my Department. However, my Department is currently working with the Irish Council for Social Housing (ICSH) regarding the longer-term treatment of properties that are exiting their mortgage term so that the properties are maintained for long-term for social use. There is a shared position between my Department and the ICSH to maintain such properties for long-term public housing.
