Ms Aoife Kelly-Desmond:

It is important that the messaging is right and that we allay people's fears. We need to explain where landlords will stand and that people do not have to have such a fear regarding their rights. The other point I would make is that we are in a serious housing crisis, which is detrimental to landlords. No landlord wants to evict somebody into homelessness. Somebody being evicted in the first instance is not a crisis unless that person has nowhere else to go, which is the situation we are seeing on a daily basis because of the crisis. A better and more structured housing system that works in a more rational way would be better for landlords, together with everyone else. Getting that message out is really important.
