Party would put less money in infrastructure and climate change funds to pay for increased housing investment up front
would put less money into long-term funds the Government says are vital for demographic change and climate action to pay forunveiled Sinn Féin’s €39 billion plan, called A Home of Your Own, in Dublin on Monday, promising 300,000 homes would be delivered across the five years of a Sinn Féin-led government.
“I could not be part of a government that didn’t make the resources available, particularly at a time when we have resources,” Mr Doherty said, adding the resources were available to ensure there was no trade off needed to fund the investment. Mr Doherty said he would not abolish the funds and agreed with them in principle, but he disputed the idea this money should be sunk into them “regardless of what is happening”.
Sinn Féin has pledged to wind down the Help to Buy scheme, which it says is inflationary and has been criticised for driving up prices, and end immediately the shared-equity First Home scheme, under which the State takes an ownership stake in a portion of a property that can be bought out over time.
