Sinn Féin housing spokesman Eoin Ó Broin criticized the planned expansion of the shared-equity scheme, warning it will exacerbate housing costs, likening it to 'Celtic Tiger-era Fianna Fáil at their worst, turbocharging house prices.' He argues that such measures will only inflate prices further and not genuinely address the housing crisis.
Labour Party leader Ivana Bacik emphasized that merely extending the shared-equity scheme will not solve the housing shortage. She stated that 'Ireland needs at least 50,000 a year and Labour will drive the delivery of thousands of new, affordable homes with a state construction company.' Bacik highlighted the pressing need for new homes rather than inflating the second-hand market.
