2017-launched Ireland Help to Buy scheme had 118,080 applications, but only 175 weekly applications resulted in confirmed purchases.

The Help to Buy (HTB) incentive in Ireland, launched in 2017, aims to support first-time home buyers with tax refunds of up to 10% on properties under €500,000. Since inception, there have been 118,080 applications, averaging 124 claims per week. However, only 175 weekly applications are from individuals ready to purchase. Fine Gael's claim of 500 beneficiaries weekly misrepresents the actual data, as many applications do not reflect confirmed purchases.
