The Minister has failed to address his clear and unambiguous statement to the D\u00e1il<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien has responded with a statement that can only be described as gibberish to the charge that he misled the D\u00e1il when he falsely claimed the Central Bank had approved his shared equity scheme, according to Social Democrats Housing Spokesperson Cian O’Callaghan.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is quite simple. The Minister, on the floor of the D\u00e1il, told me that the \u201cshared equity scheme has been passed by the Central Bank, has received approval\u201d. He couldn\u2019t have been clearer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Central Bank has now confirmed that it has not approved this scheme \u2013 which comprises a major plank of the government\u2019s Housing For All strategy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Minister released a statement today which can only be described as gibberish. In it the Minster states that when he referred to approval for a shared equity \u201carrangement\u201d, he was \u201creferring to the aspect of the scheme whereby, informed by engagement with the CBI, the scheme is being designed as an equity product rather than being a debt on the purchaser\u201d. The statement than refers to a contemporaneous clarification having been made in an interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Minister has failed to address his clear and unambiguous statement to the D\u00e1il that his shared equity scheme had received approval from the Central Bank when it has not.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Minister must now make a statement on this matter in the D\u00e1il which addresses this hugely serious issue. We cannot have a situation whereby ministers give manifestly false information when responding to questions in the D\u00e1il.\u201d<\/p>\n
