Labour Housing Spokesperson Jan O’Sullivan on Monday raised concerns about a directive being issued to local authorities telling them to stop considering applications for the Rebuilding Ireland Home Loan Scheme due to funds for the scheme running out. RTÉ reported yesterday that a Department of Housing internal document revealed the scheme had been put on hold because it had run out of funding.

Echoing Boyhan’s comments, Fianna Fáil TD Darragh O’Brien said “there are hundreds of really concerned people out there right now”.Addressing the committee, Murphy said he is “genuinely surprised how this was being reported yesterday”. “The reality is the scheme will require more funding to be made available and that’s what I’m discussing with the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform,” Murphy said.
