The agenda was clear: stronger support for homeowners, greater access to mortgages and a more resilient Irish financial market. Around the table at our Maynooth office this week were Robert Troy TD, Minister of State at the Department of Finance with special responsibility for Financial Services, Credit Unions and Insurance, Michael Broderick, CEO of the First Home Scheme and David Malone, CEO of the Irish League of Credit Unions.
Together with the team from BCMGlobal, the discussion focused on how collaboration across housing and financial services can deliver tangible benefits for Irish families, while contributing to the Government’s Housing for All and Ireland for Finance strategies.
Summing up the visit, Robert Troy highlighted the importance of collaboration:
“Responding to the housing crisis is the most critical challenge of our time, and collaboration across a broad spectrum of factors is key to meeting that challenge. The First Home Scheme is one aspect of the Government’s aim to significantly increase fair and affordable access to housing, and strengthening mortgage options supports that. I commend the ongoing work of BCMGlobal in supporting the scheme, and encourage prospective home buyers to find out more about it.”
