Amharc ar fhreagra1495. Deputy Eugene Murphy asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of Rebuilding Ireland home loan applications pending a decision, by county, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16124/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 1493 to 1495, inclusive, together.
As with the previous local authority home loan offerings, the Rebuilding Ireland Home Loan, which was introduced on 1 February 2018, is a local authority product and loan applications are made directly to the local authority in whose area the property proposed for purchase is situated. My Department does not collect information on the number of enquiries to local authorities regarding the loan, the number of complete loan applications received by local authorities, or the reasons as to why a loan application may be declined.
As is currently the case, my Department will continue to publish information on the overall number and value of (1) local authority loan approvals and (2) local authority loan drawdowns on its website at the following link: http://www.housing.gov.ie/housing/statistics/house-prices-loans-and-profile-borrowers/local-authority-loan-activity.
This information is currently updated to end Q3 2017; it is anticipated that Q4 data will be published shortly.
