Fianna Fáil TD for Cavan-Monaghan Brendan Smith has said changes to the Local Authority Home Loan scheme increasing the thresholds for eligibility reflects the “reality” of the housing market.
Minister for Housing Darragh O’Brien announced plans on Tuesday to increase the house price and income limits of the State-backed loan scheme which is aimed at helping people struggling to secure a mortgage from the banks.
The house price limit for local authorities, such as Cavan and Monaghan, has been increased to €275,000.
The income limits for applicants have also been increased, with single applicants now eligible for loans up to €70,000 and joint applicants up to €85,000 nationwide.
The loan, which was launched in January 2022 as part of Housing for All, can be used for new, second-hand, and self-build homes.
Deputy Smith said: “I am delighted to see the government’s commitment to increasing access to affordable housing through the Local Authority Home Loan program.
“The changes to the scheme reflect the reality of the housing market and will significantly improve the accessibility for families and individuals in need of affordable housing options.
“On top of this very positive change, we have a body of work in communicating the value of this scheme to the public. This is one of the very many good schemes which make homeownership more accessible and it’s important we get that information out to the public.
“These changes have the potential to make a real difference in the lives of those who might not have been able to secure a mortgage otherwise.”
Deputy Smith added: “I hope these changes will encourage more people to take advantage of this important program, and I look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on our communities.”
Since February 2018 over 3,300 people have gotten on the property ladder through the Local Authority Home Loan and its predecessor the Rebuilding Ireland Home Loan.
Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien and Public Expenditure and Reform Minister Pascal Donohoe will sign the amendment regulations in the coming weeks. The changes are set to take effect on 1 March 2023.

Volunteers with Crosserlough GFC(Gaelic Football Club) took part in a safeTALK workshop which was facilitated by HSE Connecting for Life Cavan Monaghan in the Crosserlough GAA Club on the evening of Friday 28th January.
Edel Reilly, Health & Wellbeing Officer with Crosserlough GAA organised the training in the local community and explained that she wanted to run this workshop for the Senior members of their Club. Edel highlighted that “there is a lot of peer pressure on young people of this generation and we want to be able to help look out for them and to let them know that support is available”.
Emer Mulligan, Resource Officer for Suicide Prevention with HSE Cavan Monaghan Mental Health Service explained “the safeTALK training supports people to move beyond common tendencies to miss, dismiss or avoid suicide. It helps participants to identify people who have thoughts of suicide and apply the TALK (Tell, Ask, Listen and Keep safe) steps to connect a person with suicidal thoughts to people and agencies that can help”.
This training is suitable for anyone over the age of 18 years who wants to help prevent suicide and is prepared to become a ‘suicide alert’ helper, i.e. front line workers, clergy, volunteers, teachers and people responding to family and friends.
Hazel Leahy, safeTALK Trainer in the Cavan community highlighted the value of the training in communities and explained that “suicide is a significant public health concern in Ireland. In response to this, the HSE National Office for Suicide Prevention has been a forerunner in the development of standards for training in suicide prevention. The aim of the programme is to improve and enhance the skill levels and confidence of people within the community in responding to people in suicidal crisis”.
Feedback from participants on the evening was very positive with attendees highlighting that the training will give them more confidence in reaching out to someone they may be concerned about and also in helping them identify the signs that someone may at risk and need some additional help. One participant explained that they “took a lot from the training because it was interactive and practical”.
