This month’s meeting of Leitrim County Council has heard calls for the extension of the Help to Buy Scheme which has assisted 124 individuals and families to date in county Leitrim.
The scheme provides those that avail of it with up to €30,000 of their taxes back from the previous four years, towards a deposit to either build or purchase their first home.
Councillor Enda McGloin is supporting the governments extension of the scheme to the end of 2025 and has called for the scheme to be extended to the end of 2026.
The Fine Gael Councillor says the scheme provides certainty for prospective buyers or those seeking to build their first home.
