The Government's help to buy scheme will be extended "in its current form" for another two years in a bid to provide "certainty" to people struggling to afford to buy homes across the country.

Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe revealed the decision in his Budget 2020 speech to the Dáil this afternoon, saying "I am extending the scheme in its current form for two years until 2021".
