A slim majority of Rebuilding Ireland homeloan applications in Kildare have been refused.
Since the scheme began in 2018, 338 applications have been submitted to Kildare County Council.
168 have been approved, and 170 declined.

The Department of Housing says reasons for refusal may include:
- Repayment Capacity Not Demonstrated
- Net Income Ratio Outside of Policy
- Unsatisfactory Savings Record
- Unsatisfactory ICB Report
