It’s called wealth transference, taking money from the poor in the form of taxes, and giving it to the affluent, with the bank’s assistance in not granting mortgages to people who can afford rent
Its amazing how the Hap limit+ 30% descretion allowed sets the floor for rent.
Cheapest way to provide good accommodation by far. The figure in the article is incorrect. The cost is more like €500m a year, not a billion because a lot of the rent flows directly back to the Exchequer through taxes.
HAP can house a family in Dublin for €6600 /year including management, services charges and capital / depreciation. Price growth is fixed below inflation. It represents exceptional value for the taxpayer.
Aye the Labour Party, famous for absolutely shitting the bed in 2011 after reneging on their promises to abolish student fees. Literally robbed the youth vote through absolute lies and then have the gall to campaign as a party in support of the youth
