Minister Murphy must explain home loan interest rate hike – Eoin Ó Broin

Sinn Féin Housing spokesperson Eoin Ó Broin has called on Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy to explain the interest rate hike for the Rebuilding Ireland Home Loan.

Deputy Ó Broin said:

“As is typical of Minister Murphy we hear of interest rate changes to this government backed mortgage scheme via media reports.

“Based on the report it would seem that borrowers are facing a rate increase from 2% for a 25 year on to 2.745% and from 2.25% for a 30-year loan to 2.995%.

“These loans are for home owners who struggled to get a mortgage from banks and now Fine Gael is happy to increase the costs on workers and families.

“Over the lifetime of these mortgages, it will add €20,000 to €30,000 to the cost of finance for working people.

“That is not good enough.

“A Sinn Féin Housing Minister would prioritise the delivery of affordable purchase homes, costing less than €250,000, instead of increasing the debt burden.”

The deal between London & Brussels is done. There can be no more excuses for blocking an Assembly.

People’s patience is worn out.

The democratic outcome of the Assembly election must be respected.

We need an Assembly up & running now to support workers, families & communities.
