Commitment

Retain and extend the Help to Buy scheme

What this means

  • Fine Gael promised in its November 2024 general election manifesto to keep the Help to Buy scheme running for first-time buyers.[source]
  • The Help to Buy scheme helps first-time buyers save a deposit to purchase a home. Fine Gael committed to retaining and extending it.[source]
  • The commitment sits alongside other affordable home purchase schemes, forming part of Fine Gael's broader housing policy platform.[source]
  • This is a promise only, not yet delivered. Voters and watchdogs can use it to hold Fine Gael to account if the scheme is cut or allowed to lapse.[source]
