Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 15 February 2024
264. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of applications for local authority housing loans throughout the country where such applications were unsuccessful due to having an income less than the statutory requirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7388/24]
View answerWhile there are maximum income limits under the Local Authority Home Loan Scheme, where single applicants must not be earning greater than €70,000 annual gross income in the previous tax year while joint applicants must not be earning greater than €85,000 annual combined gross income in the previous tax year, there are no minimum statutory income limits for the scheme. Therefore, no such figures are available.
